the great wall

time may flow over realizing goals that no one knows

and my friends

they'd never admit it though

because they can block it out and continue to roll on

but me

i know

that everything's about to blow away

for real this time and no one's watching

all of my life i've dreamed about it

and now that it's gone i can't do without it

all of life i've stood behind it

like trying to hide the great wall of china

flying above heathrow

never dreamin' of the time or my dwindling cash flow

and i know

i never said

that a european climb isn't starving my ego

one thing

i know

is everything's about to blow away

for real this time and no one's watching

all of the time i waited on it

preparing to see what the others think of it

keeping in mind i'm still above it

but not very high because i'm only hovering

all of my life i've stood behind it

like trying to hide the great wall
