lyrics

for all the children drowned in the sea
the boats and crews that lost
there way to to some, far away, hopeful shore
take a brick from the wall
remove a piece from the wall

mountains and valleys, rivers and oceans
and great cathedrals all
may they remind of the small
birds that fly over the wall
take a brick from the wall

great armies may conquer all
the cities they destroy
and great administrators always fall
when they make a wall
take a piece from the wall

for all the children drowned in the sea
the boats and crews that lost
there way to to some, far away, hopeful shore
take a brick from the wall
remove a piece from the wall
