The Wall Songtext
von Che Apalache

Come friends, come friends, come gather ′round
For to sing, sing we joyfully
(Let us sing about a better world)
Where never past has been unfurled
Of a land where freedom rings
From way up high on a mountainside
One can see the wide world over
(From way up there it's plain to see)
Regardless of one′s race or creed
In our hearts we're all the same
Come sisters, brothers, gather near
We've come to share our worries
(We fear what some folks have been saying)
About Latin Americans, the truth′s been misconstrued
There′s all kinds of talk about building a wall
Down along the southern border
(About building a wall between me and you)
Lord, and if such nonsense should come true
Then we'll have to knock it down
′Cause that idea won't fly (so high) As a wingless bird (in a rock hard sky)
So no siree, we won′t comply
We're going to stand our ground
To love thy neighbor as thyself
Is a righteous law to live by
(But the leaders sing a different song)
They break us up so they stay strong
And ignorantly we′re strung along
Until we meet our doom
Yes our leaders are so ripe with sin
They feed us chance to rope us in
But someday soon we'll find, my friends
That we're pinned against the wall
Come friends, come friends, come gather ′round
For to sing, sing we joyfully
(Let us sing about a better world)
Where never past will soon unfurl
Where no man′s blood shall stain the soil
Yes, a land where freedom rings
