The wall

Verse 1

Everybody meets a wall someday,

Some built by time, some built by pain.

You can push till your shoulders break,

Still that stone won’t move an inch your way.

And that’s the moment you finally know,

This ain’t a hill you can simply outgrow.

The question ain’t why did it come?

It’s what do I do now that I’ve found one?

Pre-Chorus

You can stand there staring at the other side,

Or find another way to get through the divide.

Chorus

Dig underneath it, climb over the top,

Find a crack in the stone and don’t let yourself stop.

Or sit in the shadow, waiting on a sign,

For somebody to say, “It’s okay, you can leave it behind.”

Everybody hits a wall, everybody knows,

The difference is what happens when the road won’t go.

In love, in life, underneath a clock—

Everybody hits a wall…

But not everybody climbs.

Verse 2

Sometimes the wall looks like a job you hate,

Same four corners, same old day.

Sometimes it’s two hearts standing face to face,

Both wanting love but afraid to say.

You can build it higher with words left unsaid,

Or tear down a brick from the things you regret.

And sometimes the hardest thing you can do

Is admit the wall is between me and you.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t need a map to know you’re stuck,

Sometimes you just need enough courage to look up.

Chorus

Dig underneath it, climb over the top,

Find a crack in the stone and don’t let yourself stop.

Or sit in the shadow, waiting on a sign,

For somebody to say, “It’s okay, you can leave it behind.”

Everybody hits a wall, everybody knows,

The difference is what happens when the road won’t go.

In love, in life, underneath a clock—

Everybody hits a wall…

But not everybody climbs.

Bridge

Maybe the wall ain’t there to end your road,

Maybe it’s asking how bad you want to go.

Maybe you dig, maybe you climb,

Maybe you rest till you’re ready to try.

But don’t confuse being tired with being done—

Sometimes the wall is where the next road comes from.

Final Chorus

Dig underneath it, climb over the top,

Break through the fear that keeps telling you to stop.

And if you have to sit there, catch your breath awhile,

That doesn’t mean you’ve quit—

It just means you’re still alive.

Everybody hits a wall, everybody knows,

Sometimes you can’t see where the other side goes.

In love, in work, in the middle of it all,

Everybody meets a wall…

But the wall doesn’t get to decide where you stop.

Outro

So when you finally see that wall standing tall,

Don’t let one dead end convince you you’ve lost it all.

Dig underneath it…

Climb over the top…

Or find a door you never knew was there.

Just don’t sit there waiting

For somebody else to tell you

you’re allowed to keep going.
