Wall Of Love

Oh great wall of love, build me a great wall of love.
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things,
You shout that it’s not good enough.

Ah we wait till daylight hours,
Waiting for a sign from you.
Golden temples concrete towers,
Building mansions on the hillside next to you.
In the city souls awaken bodies shaking,
Oh pull me up let me see the view.
And to the hungry in the gutter,
We’ve deprived them bread and butter.
Always not enough,
No not enough.

Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love.
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things,
You shout that it’s still not enough.

Ah well it’s not the sound of ghosts I hear,
It’s the devil with his chainsaw,
And I’ll be running through the ghettos,
Through the townships of Soweto,
Always not enough,
No not enough.

Brothers missing, babies kissing,
And the thing that got to you,
Burning never turning next to you.

Oh great wall of love,
Build me a great wall of love.
When the blind man sings about the peaceful things,
You shout that it’s still not enough.

So listen to me darling,
They’ve got worries they’ve got troubles on their mind,
And when you hear them reaching out,
They’re reaching out for something they can’t find.

Oh I believe one great day the rain will come,
And wash this mess away.
Oh I believe one great day the rain will come.

They’ve got silver and diamonds,
They’ve got paradise around them,
They’ve got blue skies so clear.
They’ve got their prisoner in a wagon,
While the children chase the dragon,
And the free bird files so clear.
It files away.
Fly fly fly away.
Fly away.
Oh you fly away.

And may your sweet lips sing to me,
Let the bells ring wherever freedom be,
One babe is born and another one dies,
There’s people making love tonight.
People making love tonight.
Ah people making love tonight.
People making love.
People making love tonight.
People making love.
I can hear them reaching out.
I can hear them reaching out.
I can hear them reaching out.
I can hear them reaching out.
