 I recall when i was smallHow 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
 
 Chorus:
 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 wooly man without a face
 And a beast without a name
 Nothin' here but history
 Can you see what has been done
 Memory rush over me
 Now i step into the sun
 
 Chorus
