Analysis of Song Behind The Wall



Take away my burden,she sang
She was dreaming in real time
No one heard her song at all,
From behind a closed wall,it had been more difficult.
But she couldn't remember when.

It was all her's to own and she was getting weak.
No one heard her song at all,
Except those she was yet to meet.

Take away my burden,she cried out in song.
But it bounced back again,
From that wall made of stone, where difficulty lived.

She knew that the song had to go on,
Even when tears would ebb and flow.
She lived in a vision of a dream to come,
From behind a closed wall that was blocking the sun.

No one heard her song at all,
Except those she was yet to meet.
