I stand here by the western wall Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all I shove my prayers in the cracks I've got nothing to lose no one to answer back All these years I've brought up for review Wasn't taught this but I learned something new And to answer the distance call at the western wall I've got a heart full of fear and I offer it on this alter of tears Red dust settles deep in my skin I don't know where it start and where I begin It's a crumbling pile of broken stones it ain't much but it might be home If I ever loved a place at all it's the western wall I don't know if God was ever a man but if she was I think I understand Why he found a place to break his fall near the western wall
