I recall when I was small How I spent my days alone The busy world was not for me So I went and found my own
I would climb the garden wall With a candle in my hand I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
On the stone an ancient hand In a faded yellow-green Made alive a worldly wonder Often told but never seen
Now and ever bound to labor On the sea and in the sky Every man and beast appeared A friend as real as I
Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall When there wasn't even any Hollywood They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall For you and me we understood
Can it be this sad design Could be the very same A woolly man without a face And a beast without a name
Nothin' here but history Can you see what has been gone Memory rush over me Now I step into the sun
