Thousand Foot Fall:

Fallen aspirations, melt away into the sidewalks of today.
The high walls of this once great city built to hide truths.

Symbols of our lives under greeds reign.
Motive drenched by flooding rains.

The bruised paths of this once great city.
Echoes irony of repeated journeys.
As pasts repeat.
Walls put up to protect us, now contain us.
structures we built now rise against us.

The city night reflects deep in our eyes.
Neglect the pollution blocking the skies
Times won't change until we tear these walls down.
And show ourselves who we really are.
Will we rise above.

Lessons unlearnt still haunt the streets.
Memory lane remains unsafe.
We've fallen a thousand times before .
We've fallen a thousand feet.
And we still repeat the same mistakes.

Dreams are layed to rest.
In a sunless world, in this hopeless world.

The city night reflects deep in our eyes.
Neglect the pollution blocking the skies.
Times won't change until we tear these walls down.
And show ourselves who we really are.
Will we rise above.

A new beginning as the walls that trap us start to fray.
Our lives start when we tear these walls down.
A new beginning as the masks that hide us slip away.

Now tear these walls down.
