Walls of Jericho

Walls of Jericho

How were they supposed to know?

When the trumpet sounds

All the walls come tumbling down

Hear the children cry

Strangest bird up in the sky

Ma, what hell is this?

They sold us to the hypocrites

All the while we hold on tight

Singing songs of hope tonight

Every day the shifting sands

One day we'll find our promised land

Walls of Jericho

How were they supposed to know?

When the trumpet sounds

All the walls come tumbling down

God, what have we done?

Sold out to the slinger's gun

War is a nasty game

It's either money or the fame

But I do know this

No one's born with prejudice

Oh, humanity

Have we not learned from history?

All the while we hold on tight

Singing songs of hope tonight

Every day the shifting sands

One day we'll find our promised land

Walls of Jericho

How were they supposed to know?

When the trumpet sounds

All the walls come tumbling down

Hush, my little child

I know the world is running wild

We'll pray for peace to come

We'll ride into the setting sun
