Lyrics
There is a wall in East Berlin
A hundred miles long
A concrete barricade of hate and fear
Where soldiers watch from towers
With machine guns pointed down
At anyone who gazes west
To the freedom, oh, so near
And they have build a curtain
Made of iron and bamboo
That slithers like a snake around the clock
Yet somehow from the prison camps
It echoes to Red Square
A song of hope and victory
About a wall in Jericho
And when the people shouted
At Joshua's command
When they heard
The mighty trumpet sound
The stones began to crumble
As the earth began to shake
God's people stood triumphant
As the walls came tumbling down
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And sometimes we are builders
Of those very walls ourselves
When we choose to hate instead of love
A hardened heart is like a wall
With every crossing closed
Oh, listen, church, unto a song
About a wall in Jericho
And when the people shouted
At Joshua's command
When they heard
The mighty trumpet sound
The stones began to crumble
As the earth began to shake
God's people stood triumphant
As the walls came tumbling down
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, hey!
