Walls
Build the wall between religion and rule
The book of the Bible should not decide what is cool
Build the wall between color and law
If we were all BLIND we could SEE the system is flawed
The color of your skin
What religion you’re in
The person you love
Whether you're a they, her or him
Should not affect the rights and respect you are given
Life is a game, we should all be able to win it
Walls are built for support, safety and structure
With these invisible barriers we can protect ourselves and one another
the man in the White House wants to build them with stone
he wants the wrong kind for the wrong reasons
Unfortunately he's not alone
Isolation, separation doesn't solve any problems
It just creates more, and makes it harder to solve them
Land of the free?
Home of the brave?
Ha, yeah right
That only works if people learn to behave
Open your mind
Open your heart
Or this country we live in is bound to fall apart
These walls do more harm than good because hate is what they're made of
But our homophobia, sexism, and racism do more damage than the people were afraid of
funny how that works, huh?
Build the wall between religion and rule
The book of the bible should not decide what is
Cool
Build the wall between color and law
If we were all BLIND we could SEE the system is flawed
The color of your skin, what religion you’re in, the person you love , or whether you're a they, her or him
Should not affect the rights and respect you are given
Life is a game, we should all be able to win it
