when did the wall get so high?
i spent so much time looking forward
i forgot to look back
when did the wall get so high?
i climbed over it as i was passing through
never thinking it'd grow as i marched on
there's nary a door or a window to the other side
when did the wall get so high?
my ears were too plugged up to hear
your pleas and prods to get me to return
i tuned it all out without a second thought
hadn't noticed you'd given up
now bricks are all i can see
when did the wall get so high?
