VERSE 1:
We can play it safe
For awhile
If we can
But will that make me a better girl
You a better man?
I trust myself
And that's all I can do
Don't you see the world is alive and
Right in front of you...
CHORUS:
Over the wall
There is a new world waiting
Over the wall
I want to find out something more
Over the wall
I cannot wait to find it
Over the wall is where I want to be
Come take my hand and
We can be free
VERSE 2:
Fear of the unknown
Is unhealthy to the soul
But it eats you up inside
If you don't have a higher goal
You see no light
On the dark side of the sun
What do you think about when
Everyday is over and done?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And when the darkness comes
You'll still have a long road
In front of you
And when you cry out
All the world will be around (world will be around)
It won't be easy
But it will have greater rewards
Mountains and valleys
Are better than nothing at all...
CHORUS
CHORUS
Over the wall
There is a new world - oh...
Over the wall
I want to find out something more
Over the wall
I cannot wait to find it
Over the wall is where I want to be
Come take my hand
Dontcha know it, we can be free
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
I cannot wait to find it...
We can play it safe
For awhile
If we can
But will that make me a better girl
You a better man?
I trust myself
And that's all I can do
Don't you see the world is alive and
Right in front of you...
CHORUS:
Over the wall
There is a new world waiting
Over the wall
I want to find out something more
Over the wall
I cannot wait to find it
Over the wall is where I want to be
Come take my hand and
We can be free
