Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
If I could walk on the waterIf only I could flyOver this borderTo freedom before I dieA woman cries beside a wallOf namesA broken hearted witnessTo the shameShe asks, "Who will take the blame?"She's asking you and IYou and IStand or fall--welcome to this promised landStand or fall--don't let it die at the hands of manFor it's here we fall.So deliver the childrenWith silence in their eyesThey carry the burdenOf a world filled with liesPoison in our rivers, oil on the sandThe hunger cries of a homeless manA rain of acid that burns our landBut where were you and IYou and IOh come and walk by my sideTogether we'll watch theArms of the world open wideFor it's nation timeNation time! Go!
