Crab Action - The Golden Door

I walked ten thousand miles through sand and mud and dirt
My feet are cracked and bleeding and oh my God they hurt
I stumbled towards salvation and I fell down to my knees
The Pearly Gates were closed
You locked and barred them and you threw away the keys

I know the world is dangerous
And I don't have all the answers
And I don't know what's more scary
Open doors or open carry
So who's to stay and who's to leave becomes a matter of belief
But no one promised you'd be safe
It's just a matter of faith

Build a wall. Build a fence
Cower behind your bigotry and call it self defense
No I'm not naïve in what I believe
Some show strength by standing up, others show it on their knees

Give me your tired. Give me your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shores
Send them, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me
I hold my lamp up high, beside the golden door

Build a wall. Build a fence
Cower behind your bigotry and call it self defense
No I'm not naïve in what I believe
Some show strength by standing up, others show it on their knees

You can't keep us all out
