You Build A Wall

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
And we'll light a fire
You build a wall
We'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Compassion lives in every single land
We're made of something you can't understand
Stronger than the weapons in your hand
Bigger than the armies you command

[Chorus]
You build a wall
We'll build a ladder
You're falling leaves
Dead from the branch
And 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
And we'll light a fire
You build a wall
We'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
They'll build a wall
And we'll build a ladder
They're falling leaves
Dead from the branch
And they'll see how much
A snowflake matters
When we become
An avalanche
You build a wall
And we'll just get higher
You don't learn to fight
From privilege
Hide in the dark
And we'll light a fire
You build a wall
We'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge
