| We build walls
|
| All around us, all around us
|
| Try to keep what we don’t know
|
| At a distance, at a distance
|
| We don’t listen
|
| Now if I stood on a corner and asked you for $ 2 for a Whopper
|
| Would you let your cynicism stop you? |
| Would it stop you? |
| Would it stop you?
|
| I mean would you?
|
| I mean we spend $ 9.99 on Spotify, but hearing my stomach rumblin',
|
| not worth a dime?
|
| Not worth a dime? |
| Not even one?
|
| Look, or if I had suit and tie, maybe I’d be worth your time?
|
| Only money on your mind, cuz we are so selfish
|
| Jesus walked with the poor
|
| Are we too good for that?
|
| Kissing up to God in our prayers to get a promotion
|
| To make more money and buy more things, that we don’t need
|
| That we just buy to show off for the next guy and still feel poor inside
|
| Still feel homeless as the person that we just denied
|
| By the way, how have you treated the least of these?
|
| Pride and money, are you a slave to them?
|
| Cause you ain’t gotta be black to pick cotton off a shelf of an
|
| We build walls
|
| All around us, all around us
|
| Try to keep what we don’t know
|
| At a distance, oh, at a distance
|
| We don’t listen
|
| Pray to God for the day that we can
|
| Put our guns down and see Him in all of our faces
|
| Can’t you see with the hands of the master we made?
|
| But we don’t enjoy the creation of art on display
|
| So blind when we look at each other
|
| I don’t want you not to see my color
|
| See our differences are not the weakness
|
| And in this puzzles we gon' need the master’s master pieces
|
| Feel like we all conceited thinking you’d be better if you was more like me
|
| Not knowing it was God that made you more like you
|
| Made in His image, we are all His kids
|
| So if I look down on you, I look down on Him
|
| I’m a sinner, you a sinner, what’s the difference?
|
| We all need love, joy, Jesus, and healing
|
| We got a lot in common if we would just listen
|
| Instead of building more walls, let’s build more bridges
|
| Let’s build more bridges
|
| We build walls
|
| All around us, all around us
|
| Try to keep what we don’t know
|
| At a distance, at a distance
|
| We don’t listen |
