Above and beyond the great big wall,

Endless possibilities lie.

Above and beyond the great big wall,

Is a land that is hidden from human eye.

The land of dreams, the land of hope,

The land where dreams come true.

The land of joy, the land of smiles,

The land unknown to me and you.

I wonder what goes on there, I wonder what it's like

Is it as harsh as the world I'm in? Is it filled with tears?

Or is it made of all things nice like ponies and teddy bears?

My mama went to heaven when I was very small,

But every night I look at the sky and I see her watch over me.

She's the brightest star up so high, and she lives beyond the great wall,

She maybe far away today but I know one day together we will be.

My dada never loved me, he never ever cared.

He'd come home drunk every night and kick me with his boots.

All he wanted was money,he never sent me to school

He'd make me wash, he'd make me cook and then one day he sold me to some goons.

Those men were bad and smelly and gave me scary looks,

They said that I was very pretty and bought me ugly clothes

They forced me to wear make up and took me out on to the roads.

One day they sent me with a man who smiled at me slyly

He held my hands and dragged me to his car and tied my mouth up tight

He slapped me hard and threw me on the back seat and hurt me with all his might

The pain was so much that I think I must have fainted,

For when I woke up, I was lying by the roadside with my clothes torn and all alone.

I stared at my mama shining down at me and I cried and cried just to her, feeling dirty and tainted.

I'm standing at the top of a cliff, I see my mama in th sky

In front below is the great big wall where endless possibilities lie

I look up again and see her smile, she opens her arms wide

I close my eyes and take a big jump knowing that soon I will be by her side
