Chords of a Man - Our Wall

Hills of quills and mountains high and rocky clefts that fringe the sky
The leaping hart can almost fly, it so bewilders me
But mountains feel so far away, so in my fortress here I’ll stay
And from the hart my eyes will stray, lest looking set me free

And from afar I hear him say rise up my love and come away
To introspection’s sway I fall, and trap myself inside our wall

Hues of blues and yellow light, the warming ray that breaks the night
A portal to a world so bright, my soul delights to see
But rays expose where they have shined, pervading spaces I’ve confined
So when he glanced through, I declined to open thoroughly

And from afar I hear him say rise up my love and come away
My listless heart should heed his call to come out from within our wall

Shoots of fruits on vines so vast, the bane of winter’s rain is past
The time of singing—come at last—I’ve yearned so eagerly
But blossoms fall from whence they’ve sprung, and drops of rain still quench my tongue
The sweetest song I left unsung so tearless I could be

And from afar I hear him say rise up my love and come away
His love my tender heart enthralls, I’d seek for him outside our wall

And from afar I hear him say rise up my love and come away
His word had saved me after all, I’m seeking him outside our wall
