The Wall

Come friends, come friends. Come gather 'round
For to sing, oh sing we joyfully!
Let us sing about a better world
Where different paths have been unfurled
Of a land where freedom rings

From way up high on a mountain side
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
For 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 'bout building a wall
Down along the Southern border
'bout 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 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 chants to rope us in
But some day soon we'll find, my friends
That we're penned against The Wall

Come friends, come friends. Come gather 'round
For to sing, oh sing we joyfully!
Let us sing about a better world
Where different paths will soon unfurl
Where no man's blood shall stain the soil
Of a land where freedom rings
