[Intro]
C G D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
There's a place where I grew, you might know it too
C D G
Where the only light is the stars in the sky
C D G Em
Where the people can't see so they stumble endlessly
C D G
Never stopping to ever wonder why
G C G
There's a wall that's like a shroud, taller than the clouds
C D G
That the people always thought they shouldn't climb
C D G Em
When I asked why it was there, the people said in fear
C D G
"Don't you think to go beyond it or you'll die"
G C G C G
[Refrain]
C G D Em
It's cold inside where the dark likes to hide
C G D G
I just try to survive, but I think it's a lie
C G D Em
Must be more than this ache, just hope I don't break
C G D G
When I climb this wall, will I fly or will I fall
[Verse 2]
G C G
Was it foolish, was it brave, to try it anyway?
C D G
Well that question will wait another day.
C D G Em
I just had to know though the truth might bring me low
C D G
Some answers are worth a little pain
G C G
When I made it to the crest, the other side had steps
C D G
And I knew the wall was there to keep us trapped
C D G Em
Monsters, we must be, that we could not run free
C D G
[guitar only]
G C G C G
[Refrain]
C G D Em
It's cold inside where the dark likes to hide
C G D G
I just try to survive, but I think it's a lie
C G D Em
Must be more than this ache, just hope I don't break
C G D G
When I climb this wall, will I fly or will I fall
[Verse 3]
G C G
I almost gave it up, then a man at the top
C D G
Said to look beyond the wall before I quit
C D G Em
With a burst of brilliant Light, I finally had sight
C D G
To see the colors of the landscape I had missed
G C G
I ran to the ground, my scarf blown all around
C D G
In a race to steal some Light to bring back with me
C D G Em
I broke off a little piece, then ran back frantically
C D G
So finally the people at home could see
G C G C G
[Refrain]
C G D Em
It's light inside where the dark used to hide
C G D G
I do more than survive, now that I have my sight
C G D Em
The storms might break, but it's worth the pain
C G D G
When I climbed the wall, I brought Light to us all
[Tag Ending]
C G D Em
So I'll climb the wall, even though I might fall
C G D G
I'll accept the pain, and I'll stand up anyway
C G D G
