To Build a Wall

Before time and swallows go
To chase the sun, escape the snow
As long as ten preachers
There will be ways to build a wall
Oh, there’ll be ways to build a wall
Out of stone, out of sticks
Out of steel and concrete bricks
Out of oceans, divide us all
There’s many ways to build a wall
There’s many ways to build a wall
Take this coat so you’ll be warm
On those far and distant shores
And i will wait here for your call
Long as it takes to climb the walls
Long as it takes to climb the walls
There’s twenty four thousand miles
'tween someone’s back and someone’s smile
Who owns the land on which they walk?
Who owns the cracks between the walls?
Who owns the cracks between the walls?
Take this rose and this last kiss
And as you row remember this
That when the last petal falls
They will still be building walls
Oh, they will still be building walls
Out of fear, out of lies
Out of money, out of time
Out of faith and cannon balls
There’s many ways to build a wall
There’s many ways to build a wall
Take our daughter in your hand
Take her from this broken land
So some day she may grow tall
And see the truth behind the walls
And see the truth behind the walls
