The Walls We Build

[Verse 1]

We build a wall
Then build another

We fear the stranger
We fear each other

We fear the question
We fear the doubt

We lock the door
And shut the world out

[Chorus]

These are the walls we build
These are the chains we choose

These are the names we give our fear
These are the things we lose

[Verse 2]

A wall called money
A wall called faith

A wall called colour
A wall called race

A wall called power
A wall called pride

A wall so high
We can't see what's outside

[Panther]

Who built the first wall?

[Male]

We did

[Panther]

Who keeps rebuilding it?

[Male]

We do

[Panther]

Then why do you call it freedom?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Maybe the prison
Has no bars

Maybe the border
Lives in our hearts

Maybe the monster
We fear outside

Is only the shadow
We carry inside

[Final Chorus]

These are the walls we build
These are the chains we choose

[Outro]

Open one door

You may find
There was never a wall
