Walls won't Stand

Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Nations closing gates locking doors in their fear Acting like the world's changing too fast to steer But what's the plan when the map fades to grey? One flag today tomorrow it's frayed away History's got a lesson; it's etched in the scars— Isolation's a prison not a ticket to the stars We talk about "them" like "us" ain't the same But we bleed the same colors under every name Brexit was a warning not a guide to repeat Now borders pop like weeds on a fractured street You think you're safe in a smaller piece of the pie? But when the pie shrinks to crumbs tell me who's left to buy? Europe stands like a mosaic of dreams But cracks in the tiles make it fall at the seams Together we rise divided we crawl The weight of the past just crushing us all Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Look nationalism's like a drug to the soul Short-term highs but it'll swallow you whole They scream "protect us!" but from what I ask? A world that's already moved past the mask Superpowers rise their numbers don't lie India China—billions under one sky Europe you're a whisper in a world of roars Without unity you'll be lost on the shores It's a small-minded mindset closing the gates When the real fight's global not your neighbor's plate A fragmented future each country alone Won't matter your borders when the earth's overgrown We've seen it before the rise and the fall National pride won't stop the world's sprawl And when the fires come burning it clean Will you regret fighting the wrong machine? Voices echo faintly We had a chance… We let it slip… Borders mean nothing when the ground splits I see children carrying flags they don't understand Taught to fear strangers instead of lending a hand But what do you gain when you turn your back? A house of cards crumbles when it's under attack It's not about them it's about us all A single brick's nothing till it builds a wall But walls only hide what you don't wanna see— Fear's reflection not your enemy Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Lines in the sand washed by the tide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide Walls won't stand when the world's this wide
