Writing On The Wall

(album: Never Surrender - 1983)

I can hear it
And I can fee it
And I have no choice, I answer the call
I can see it
And I believe it
There is wisdom in the writing on the wall

Shout it from the rooftops
And sing it to the sky
Stand up all for one and one for all
I feel the tide is turning as I
Watch the days go down
I can read the writing on the wall

All the faceless
And all the nameless
Up against the wall: they spell it out for you
Are you searching, hoping, praying
Looking for an answer?
Can you meet the challenge rising up at you?

The changing of the old guard, means we
Welcome in the new: but
Every summer surely has a fall
The path of least resistance
Has led me right to you
(And) the writing is on the wall

Writing on the wall: writing on the wall
Stand up and be counted: all for one and one for all
The writing is on the wall

I am up here
Walking on a tight rope
But I
Never pause to think
That I could fall

I've got one short dance
On this planet
But I'll carve my message deep into the wall

So shout it from the rooftops
Sing it to the sky
Stand up for all one and one for all
I feel the tide is turning as I
Watch the days go down
I can read the writing on the wall
