John A. Walsh

Lyrics

Standing in the middle of his life, trying to catch his breath
Is this all he’s meant to be?
Where’s this path of destiny unwinding?
So he sets out to instigate a change
The tension wrenching fractures in the grain.

Here comes the wrecking ball
Slicing air -- no sound at all
Taking down every brick and wall
And plan you ever laid.

Into thin air years have disappeared, gone without a trace
It seems he just lost track of time
Grain by grain the sand slipped by unnoticed.
But age crept in and left its evidence…
He’s determined to reclaim what’s now past tense.

Look out for the wrecking ball
Slicing air -- no sound at all
Taking down every brick and wall
And plan you ever laid.

There are indelible stains
That can turn tears of joy into rain.
Set it free just like they say --
But watch it close as it drifts away…
Cause once it’s gone, it won’t come back the same.

Here comes the wrecking ball
Slicing air -- no sound at all
Taking down every brick and wall
And plan you ever laid.
