I know it's hard to keep the flame
But tomorrow's ours to claim
Sometimes, a battle cry sounds like a lullaby
Tonight, I think we need 'em both the same
To everyone who's scared o' what they see
Every time they turn on their TV
To everyone who's listening to me
To every single kid I used to be
ย
You build a wall, we'll build a ladder
You're fallen leaves, dead from the branch
And you'll see how much a snowflake matters
When we become an avalanche
You build a wall, we'll just get higher
You don't learn to fight from privilege
Hide in the dark, and we'll light a fire
You build a wall, we'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge
ย
Up in your palaces of gold
Your day's already growin' old
For all the ways you tried to conquer and divide
Your ruin will be all the lies you've told
Compassion lives in every single land
And we're made of something you can't understand
It's stronger than the weapons in your hand
Bigger than the armies you command
ย
You build a wall, we'll build a ladder
You're fallen leaves, dead from the branch
And you'll see how much a snowflake matters
When we become an avalanche
You build a wall, but we'll just get higher
You don't learn to fight from privilege
Hide in the dark, and we'll light a fire
You build a wall, we'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge
ย
To everyone who's scared of what they see
Every time they turn on their TV
To everyone who's listening to me
To every single kid I used to be
ย
They'll build a wall, and we'll build a ladder
They're fallen leaves, dead from the branch
And they'll see how much a snowflake matters
When we become an avalanche
You build a wall, and we'll just get higher
You don't learn to fight from privilege
Hide in the dark, and we'll light a fire
You build a wall, we'll build a bridge
We'll build a bridge
