The Wall Of Shame
Why do we build, to keep out
Was not Berlin’s built to keep in
The Great Wall of China can be seen from space
Decide what is real, do you live a sanctified life
Your reflection in the world’s looking glass
Does it show but one face or do you have many
Division from the south, but not from the north
Do you not see your two faces shining
What do you think your wall will facilitate
The poor of the south are humans just like you
Hungry, tired, and scared, they come to your gates
Looking for a safe place to build, and work and pray
We build a higher wall, we tell them they have to wait
From terrorist and drugs, you say your wall will defend
You wall out your brother, your neighbor, your friends
How is it you can be so cold yet say you’re a Christian
Do you not know, nor see, nor care, people are starving
By your actions you do offend the Lord Himself
Do you not think that a terrorist or a drug King Pin
Can enter your haven from the cold frozen north
Do not speak to me of family values ye hypocrite
As children and mothers die of hunger and guns
At the foot of this wall, this barrier you create
