The Wall
They were born to roam the lands
and choose a place to dwell
That home to leave and come back to
just as they please, when they please
But what can they look forward to surrounded by a wall?
The truth can not come in or out
How can they learn? What will they earn?
They were born to share with us each other's way of life
And pick from earth's abundant foods
to feed the children too !
The same sun shines behind the wall
For us a new day, for them the old remains
Some hope must live inside the wall
And it's up to us to somehow let them know
They were born to live at ease
and keep a faith of choice
Say the Word where and when they please
But what can they look forward to
surrounded by a wall?
Facts are not allowed at all
What can they know? How will they grow?
We were born to share with them
each other's way of life
To make up one's own point of view
and teach the children too !
The same sun shines behind the wall
Where it's bright for us
it's somber days for them
There must be Light inside the wall
And it's up to us to somehow let it in
