Got to Bring the Wall Down
Tune: Babylon is Fallen W.E. Chute 1878;
Words: Leah Levane 2005; Arr.: John Hamilton

1. Sad the day we've long expected, barriers can't bring release
Now the wall has been erected, we are still so far from peace.
In this prison Palestinians under pressure more and more

Chorus:
Got to bring the wall down, the wall down, the wall down,
Got to bring the wall down to rise no more. x2

2. Brutalised and brutalising, soldiers blocking all the ways.
Shooting at unarmed civilians, lying to evade the blame.
Feeling scared to let you over, frightened to respect the law
Chorus x2

 

3. Palestinians harassed daily, home to work there is no route.
Hard to educate their children, undefeated, resolute.
Sound the trumpets, raise our voices, jointly we can loudly roar
Chorus x2

4. Israel, it’s no solution to rely on force and might
Both have claims and both have reasons, everyone stuck being “right”
Palestinians and Israelis, nobody can win this war
Chorus x2

Got to bring the, Got to bring the, Got to bring the, Got to bring the,.wall down, wall down, wall down, wall down, wall down.
