Back to the Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stranger at the gate let him in
Stranger at the gate let him in
Stranger at the gate let him in
Won't you let him in
He's been waiting on the other side
He's been waiting on the other side
He's been waiting for the turn of the tide
Won't you let him in
Promises leave you with nothing to show
Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go
Back to the wall
Have you seen the light?
Is your soul worth saving?
Back to the wall
Can you pay the price
Then your life is waiting
Down by the shore
We can help you no more
Standing with our back to the wall
Is your soul worth saving?
Have you seen the light?
Then your life is waiting
Can you pay the price?
Promises leave you with nothing to show
Destiny leaves you with nowhere to go
Back to the wall
Have you seen the light?
Is your soul worth saving?
Back to the wall
Can you pay the price
Then your life is waiting
Down by the shore
We can help you no more
Standing with our back to the wall
