Dana Cooper - Walls
WallsDana Cooper & Rebecca Folsom
Walls hold things up, they keep us in our place
They're square, they're there, to hide what we can't face
Our walls keep us safe, our walls keep us safe
Walls keep us from staying too far from our beliefs
They reject, they protect, they help us stay asleep
Walls silence the questions that lie beneath
I built a wall hard and high
Then I heard voices singing on the other side
I risked the fall, climbed up to see
That the people on the other side were just like me
Slow down, soften for a while
Turn toward each other, open up and smile
Allow yourself to look into the other
And walk a mile, walk a mile, walk a mile
Walls are built to crumble, walls are bound to fall
They lean, they mean to separate us all
No wall can defeat us no matter how tall
We build our walls with wrong and right
Stacking up our judgements, blocking out the light
When my fear falls I clearly see
That the people on the other side are just like me
Slow down, soften for a while
Turn toward each other, open up and smile
Allow yourself to listen to the other
And walk a mile, walk a mile, walk a mile
No wall can defeat us no matter how tall
No wall can defeat us
