If I could walk on the water
If only I could fly
Over this border
To freedom before I die
A woman cries beside a wall
Of names
A broken hearted witness
To the shame
She asks, "Who will take the blame?"
She's asking you and I
You and I
Stand or fall--welcome to this promised land
Stand or fall--don't let it die at the hands of man
For it's here we fall.
So deliver the children
With silence in their eyes
They carry the burden
Of a world filled with lies
Poison in our rivers, oil on the sand
The hunger cries of a homeless man
A rain of acid that burns our land
But where were you and I
You and I
Oh come and walk by my side
Together we'll watch the
Arms of the world open wide
For it's nation time
Nation time! Go!
