lyrics

VERSE 1
Darkness pervades my reality.
Mischief is everywhere I see.
Blindness mistaken for vanishing light.
Winds of despair blowing clouds in my eyes.

VERSE 2
Searching for wisdom, I stumble and fall.
I flee from the watchmen, run into a wall.
There's nowhere to go; I have run out of time.
A burst of frustration persuades me to climb.

CHORUS 1
Wall seeker, wall seeker, that's what I will be.
The wall conceals something that's precious to me.
I need to take action; I know what to do.
Climbing the wall is my only way through.

VERSE 3
I'm over the wall now and to my surprise
I find what I'm seeking, laid bare before my eyes.
My vision is sharp and my purpose is clear.
Knowledge has helped me to sublimate my fear.

CHORUS 2
Wall seeker, wall seeker, that's what I've become.
I've more walls to climb; there is never just one.
Guided by watchmen; each wall that I find
Inspires me to leave my old blindness behind.

CHORUS 1
Wall seeker, wall seeker, that's what I will be.
The wall conceals something that's precious to me.
I need to take action; I know what to do.
Climbing the wall is my only way through.

Music In My Head
by Pompeyjazz

"Music in My Head" is the first song of John Bradley's I ever heard, and I loved it from day one. So much that I asked for permission to sing it myself. It's soulful sound really appeals to me. Vicki Morrison Goble

Rolled in Glitter
by Davy Vance

I'm not generally a fan of country style music, but I have a weakness for Vance's lovely, liquid guitar playing and McGill's clear and not-all-that country sounding voice. Vicki Morrison Goble
