Between My Brother and Me

When night comes like a blanket Smothering the skies Choking out the sun Until it fades and dies Nailed like shining pins That stretch a canvas tight More stars than can be counted Are holding up the night Moving through the shadows Is a black heart Building walls of ignorance and malice Is a black heart See this wall between my brother and me Ye-ah we're gonna tear it down Tumbling down All that stands between my brother and me Y' know piece by piece Tumbling down Twisted wire across steel and stone Your fighting fire with just flesh and bone Like madmen baying to a raging moon Hear their feverish words to a bigoted tune In daybreaks mercy lies a bleeding heart Just another martyr who played his part Just another name we carve in stone On this wall of silence that some still condone See this wall between my brother and me Ye-ah we're gonna tear it all down Tumbling down All that stands between my brother and me Y' know piece by piece Tumbling down See this wall between my brother and me C'mon kick it down kick it down Tumbling down This land is red from the blood we have shed For a, for a thousand years It should have been fertile and green From a, from a million tears The scars of generations won't fade away They haunt our lives almost everyday How many mothers will lose another son To satisfy the hunger of the bullet and the gun Take my hand and walk with me Take my hand and talk to me We all love and we all grieve We all share this air we breath See this wall between my brother and me C'mon kick it all down All that stands between my brother and me Ye-ah tumbling, tumbling down Tumbling down See this wall between my brother and me See this wall between my brother and me Tumbling down All that stands between my brother and me All that stands yeah i gotta kick it all down Tumbling down See this wall between my brother and me See this wall between my brother and me Tumbling down All that stands between my brother and me All that stands, all that stands, aaall that stands Tumbling down See this wall between my brother and me Ye-ah, ye-ah, ye-ah, ye-ah, see this wall Tumbling down All that stands between my brother and me All that stands between my brother and me Tumbling down
