    The words were originlly written to Freddie's chinese mandolin, but he later found a funk groove and melody that we liked better with the lyrics, so it evolved into a funk rock tune.

    Story Behind the Song
    Originally written to a Chinese mandolin, the Great Wall refers to the Great Wall of China. The powers that be divide our world into borders. The Chinese and old Berlin walls are obvious physical borders, yet the powers that be divide our world into invisible walls or borders that seem equally hard to cross, especially in times of war (when the friendly masses are forced to choose sides). Walls are often symbolic for borders we put up ourselves mentally and/or in social settings. This song is saying that ‘just thinking about your touch gives me supernatural strength’. So much that if we are separated by the largest wall ever I feel that I could bust through it, leap over it, or dig under it to get to you. But, since we are on the same side we are able to simply enjoy our time together, increasing our joy and happiness.

    Lyrics
    Such a Great Wall

    Just the thought of the adrenaline rush,
    transmitted by your touch,
    carries me to supernatural powers.

    Since we're on the same side,
    we practice modesty.
    Our bodies side by side,
    we exchange supernatural energy;
    understanding as it collides,
    the meaning of synergy.
    Yea, mmmmmmmm, Here we go!

    If such a great wall
    was blocking my path,
    it couldn't withstand
    the sweltering tide
    I'd send to knock it down!

    Just the thought of the adrenaline rush,
    transmitted by your touch,
    carries me to supernatural powers, yes it does

    Since we're on the same side,
    we practice modesty.
    Our bodies side by side,
    we exchange supernatural energy;
    oh yea I said,

    If such a great wall
    was blocking my path,
    it couldn't withstand
    the sweltering tide
    I'd send to knock it down!
    If such a great wall
    was blocking my path,
    I'd burrow my way underground
    to be on your side!
    to be on your side!

    Just the thought of the adrenaline rush,
    transmitted by your touch,
    carries me, it carries me,
    carries me, it carries me
    to supernatural powers.

    If such a great wall
    was blocking my path,
    it couldn't withstand
    the sweltering tide
    I'd send to knock it down!
    If such a great wall
    was blocking my path,
    I could leap it with one bound
    to be on your side!
    to be on your side!
    to be on your side!
    to be on your side!
