Beyond the Walls
Yearning Beyond Walls: A Son's Journey and a Father's Longing
Lyrics
You heard the cries in the street
You were aware of the distress expressed in the streets.
Right before the town went to sleep
Just before the town went to sleep, indicating a significant event.
It was nature's warning but you paid no heed
Nature gave a warning, but you chose to ignore it.
You had this spirit in your eyes
You possessed a spirited demeanor.
An energy never to subside
An enduring energy characterized by a lack of subsiding.
And a curious soul that made you wander
Your inquisitive nature led you to wander.
The more I try to let you go
The more I attempt to release you from my thoughts.
The harder it becomes
It becomes increasingly challenging.
As I remember how our home
Recalling how our home once embraced your courage and love.
Once held your courage and your love
Before you treaded the cobblestones.
Before you walked the cobblestones
Preceding the day you ventured off alone.
Before the day you ran off alone
Anticipating a reunion, "Just wait for me beyond the walls."
Just wait for me beyond the walls
My voice echoing through the halls as a reminder.
Listen to my voice echo in through the halls
A constant place for you in my embrace.
There will always be a place for you in my arms
Reiterating the plea, "Just wait for me beyond the walls."
Just wait for me beyond the walls
Describing her disposition as liberated and beautiful.
Her disposition free and fair
That allure seemed to be the attraction for you.
Seemed to be what called you there
But she left you shattered and fragmented.
But she left you broken and in pieces
A reproachful reflection on your lack of wisdom.
You silly child, you never learn
You insisted on experiencing life on your own terms.
You had to witness on your terms
Your departure left an enduring pain.
And you've left a pain that never ceases
Despite the anguish, thoughts of you bring daylight.
But when I think of you my boy
Revisiting the joyful places we shared.
In the light of the day
A contrast to the cobblestone path of solitude you chose.
I see the places that I'd take you
Reflecting on laughter and play from the past.
Where we used to laugh and play
Repeating the timeline before your solitary journey.
Before you walked the cobblestones
Reiterating the plea, "Just wait for me beyond the walls."
Before the day you ran off alone
Emphasizing the day you chose independence.
Before you walked the cobblestones
Recalling the cobblestones and the moment of departure.
Oh, before the day you ran off alone
Anticipating a reunion, "Just wait for me beyond the walls."
Just wait for me beyond the walls
My voice echoing through the halls as a reminder.
Listen to my voice echo in through the halls
A constant place for you in my embrace.
There will always be a place for you in my arms
Reiterating the plea, "Just wait for me beyond the walls."
Just wait for me beyond the walls
Enduring love and a promise of reunion persist.
