Western Wall

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 distant call At the Western Wall I've got a heart full of fear And I offer it on this altar of tears Red dust settles deep in my skin I don't know where it starts 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
