lyrics

sometimes i dream i’m a bird flying free
surfing the waves of the ocean’s breeze
no borders exist for any other living being
why as humans do we build such things?

when i feel the wind blowin in my hair
so much beauty, there’s no room for fear
all the colors of the rainbow unite
watch what happens when you try to divide

you can build no walls around me no no no
you can build no walls around we

life is a gift when we choose to be present
won’t take for granted the freedoms we’re blessed with
we have a voice may we stand up and use it
won’t give our power to those who abuse it

some walk for miles in the blistering sun
risking it all with hopes of liberation
their reward is the cold bars of cages
we know what is wrong, so why don’t we change it?

may all borders melt away
we don’t need no walls to separate
may we unite and celebrate

we’re all tired of the 9-5
playing the game in order to survive
our dreams we will not sacrifice
as humans we were born to thrive

you can’t build no walls around me no no no
you can’t build no walls around we ohhh
you can’t build no walls around me no no no
you can’t build no walls around we
