I know it's hard to keep the flame
But tomorrow's ours to claim
Sometimes a battlecry
Sounds like a lullaby
Tonight I think we need them both the same

To everyone who's scared of what they see
Every time they turn on their TV
To everyone who's listening to me
To every single kid I used to be

You build a wall
We'll build a ladder
You're falling leaves
Dead from the branch
You'll see how much
A snowflake matters
When we become
An avalanche

You build a wall
We'll just get higher
You don't learn to fight
From privilege
Hide in the dark
We'll light a fire
You build a wall
We'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge

Up in your palaces of gold
Your day's already growing old
For all the ways you tried
To conquer and divide
Your ruin will be all the lies you told

Compassion lives in every single land
We're made of something you don't understand
Stronger than the weapons in your hand
Bigger than the armies you command

You Build A Wall
