Stone Petoskey - Build Bridges Not Walls

Some leaders think they are bigger than it all
Failing to understand this only makes them small
Their minds are fearful their hearts are filled with hate
And it's got nothing to do with making anything great

There are lives at stake this isn't a game
So hard to love when you're ruled by fortune and fame
The earth is what keeps us all alive
This is the truth but many deal in lies

We've come to build bridges not walls
We've come to pick you up when you fall
We've come to build bridges not walls
We've come to answer your calls

When you've never wanted for anything
You fail to feel all the suffering
You take and then you take some more
The system is rotten to the core

Many have lost their jobs the bills cant be paid
A nation divided is one that's lost its way
We're in this together or not at all
If you are cold we've got a shawl

No one is free if one of us is chained
Peace can't be found when the other we blame
Its time we bring our shadow into the light
Love each other and dance all night

We've come to build bridges not walls
We've come to pick you up when you fall
We've come to build bridges not walls
We've come to answer your calls
