Walls of Jericho   Adrieenne Young      Lookin’ much older   With dust on your shoulder   Well you crashed in this mornin’   Wearin’ only your pride   Highways and freight trains   Drivers with no names   Well you played such a god game it was easy to ride      With a Poor Man’s scheme and    Rich Man’s dream   You ran for your life   Over El Rio into Laredo it was do or die   The stars hung bright on the other side      Well I offered a cold beer   And I said you could stay here   I swallowed my own fear   Cos I knew what was right   We spoke in a language that was   Here before Cambridge   Colored bright terracotta and aquamarine      With a Poor Boy’s Dream and a    Rich man’s scheme   You sacrificed the warmth of your wife’s hand   Your children and homeland for a roll lof dice   A bitter slice of American Pie      Mighty walls of Jericho   Toppled by the sound of tiny feet   Trumpets sound and we will know   Just who’s sitting in the driver’s seat   Oh these walls are comin’ down   Getting back to the ground   And there’ll be victory   In the sound of their defeat      Well you slept when the dawn came   So I undid the latch chain I walked   Down to the riverbank and thought about life   Just when did this happen   Was it always the fashion   Playin’ just to win disregarding the price      Such a Rich Man’s scheme using   Poor Boy’s dreams   To fight the fight   How far will we go pretending we don’t know what is wrong or right   The stars hang bright on the other side      Mighty walls of Jericho   Toppled by the sound of tiny feet   Trumpets sound and we will know   Just who’s sitting in the driver’s seat   Oh these walls are comin’ down   Getting back to the ground   And there’ll be victory   In the sound of their defeat
