Men Behind The Wall
Some men live for others and make their presence known
Some men live in seclusion and choose to live alone...
Some men live for justice and walk inside the law
But of these men, the group I'm in
are the men behind the wall...
They've given up their freedom, and sacrificed their rights
By day they walk in darkness, and sorrow fills their nights...
They've learned to hide their teardrops, but still the teardrops fall
They cry alone, and hope seems gone
for men behind the wall...
Some have lost their families, most have lost their friends
Today will bring a heartache tomorrow cannot mend...
Where letters are not answered, where no one takes their call...
They count their cost and much is lost
for men behind the wall...
If there is one who's righteous, then let him cast the stone
And if you've known perfection, then let him die alone...
The One man who was perfect was judged in Pilate's hall
He knows best their debt and loves them yet-
these men behind the wall.
