Hi [tos]sers,

I know this was a while ago, but the most recent [tos]cast featured Jeff and Heidi singing a cut song called "The Wall", that became "A Way Back To Then". I've been trying to type out the lyrics (for fun...), but sometimes Heidi belts a little too high, and I miss a word or two. Anyone know the blanks (or words I have wrong)?

The Wall

JEFF:

I remember a child
A brand new school in second grade
Eager to please but so afraid
Always on the ball
She used her smile
And she started to build a wall

She grew into a girl
Quick with a line to keep things light
Cracking a joke during a family fight
A new trick she could install
They’d never see her cry
She hid behind the wall

Deep inside
Were some secrets locked in cages
She wanted them to fly
But she’d have to wait for ages
Till she understood them all
They remained inside the wall

A man came along
She trapped him on the other side
Stripping him of his open pride
She pretended to stand tall
She couldn’t see him there
She couldn’t see over her wall

HEIDI:

She couldn’t see him there
She couldn’t see over her wall

She stood there alone
Trapped inside her private world
Running away from that little girl
But slowing to a crawl
She knew she’d come to the end
Of life behind the wall



She turned around
And saw she was surrounded
To bring it down
She pummeled and she pounded
And then soon went out with _____

And now I know
And I’m pulling out each stone
I’m living with a _____ time
The girl I had outgrown
And the girl that’ll always be alone for ____

And I can’t hide
And I won’t hide
From that wall
I’ll turn over every stone
And make it through the wall
