Before time and swallows go To chase the sun, escape the snow As long as ten preachers (phone!?) 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 as 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 twentyfour thousand miles Between someones back and someones 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 wenn the last petal falls They will still be building walls 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
