Border Wall
Beyond Borders: A Melodic Reflection on Freedom and Unity
Lyrics
Border wall, border wall
Expressing the concept of a physical barrier, a border wall.
We can build it up taller as we call ourselves free
Suggesting the possibility of increasing the height of the wall, questioning the freedom despite such barriers.
But Lord, what does that wall say about you and me?
Raising a spiritual or moral question about the implications of the border wall on individuals and society.
We can just go on living as we turn a blind eye
Reflecting on the tendency to ignore or overlook the consequences of living with such barriers.
But tell me, what kind of freedom's wrapped in razor blade wire?
Questioning the nature of freedom when surrounded by a barrier symbolized by razor blade wire.
Border wall, border wall
Repetition of the concept of a border wall, emphasizing its significance.
There will come one bright morning when it stands there no more
Anticipating a future where the border wall no longer exists, possibly suggesting hope for change.
Más allá, más allá
Switching to Spanish, "Beyond, beyond."
El mismo sol brilla dando vida y bondad
Describing a universal sun that shines with life and kindness.
Su amor resplandece sin jamás mezquindar
Highlighting love that radiates without selfishness, unaffected by any wall.
No hay muro tan alto que lo pueda opacar
Claiming that no wall is high enough to overshadow this love.
Todo el mundo que mira lo percibe igual
Suggesting a shared perception of this truth by everyone who observes.
Más allá, más allá
Repeating the idea of looking beyond, emphasizing unity.
Seamos sol sin fronteras reluciendo en paz
Advocating for a borderless existence, shining in peace like the sun.
Before too long, before too long
Referring to a future time when people will unite and declare victory.
We will march hand in hand and proclaim victory
Expressing the belief that true freedom will be proclaimed through unity.
As we tell our true story: we have never been free
Challenging the narrative of freedom by acknowledging a hidden and suppressed story.
All these walls that surround us bearing secrets and lies
Pointing out the presence of walls containing secrets and lies that hinder peace.
have encaged us in hatred while in peace we would thrive
Arguing that these walls contribute to hatred rather than fostering peace.
Before too long, before too long
Reiterating the idea of a future time when change will come.
There's an old train that's coming, North Star carry me home
Introducing the metaphor of an old train and the North Star as symbols of guidance and home.
Border wall, border wall
Repetition of the concept of a border wall, emphasizing its significance once again.
There will come one bright morning when it stands there no more
Reiterating the hope for a future without the border wall.
