Alphabet Rockers - Walls Lyrics

Lyrics Walls - Alphabet Rockers



Yea I do identify as American
I've lived in the country since I was 5
And there's no amount of papers that can take that away from me
This is home
This is the only home I've ever known
Ask the question
Are we the people
Ask the question
Are we the people
Are we the people
That we wanna be
That we wanna be
That we wanna be
Not a border
Not a wall
Not a line in the sand
Could devise a plan
To divide us again
No hay pared
Que puede parar
Communidad
Humindad
Paramos juntos
No pueden amenazar
Todos nosotros
No somos solos
We are familia
My parents lead a life
To feed us right
Even when sometimes
All that we can eat
Is the beans & rice
It's like
We take pride
With our food
My abuelita's recipes
In her accent telling me
This your culture
Mijo, never be ashamed
But nowadays
They wanna detain
Cause of your name
Or the color of your face
I wish I could explain
Why are people calling us bad things
When we're looking for the same, as you
Play a game or two
Feel safe at school
Why you wanna make us move
We know we all belong
We know this is our home
These walls can't stop the love
These walls can't hold us down
We know we all belong
We know this is our home
These walls can't stop the love
These walls can't hold us down
I wanna keep dreaming
Grow up and still believe in
Whatever I can see I can be that
Nobody to say no not today
You gotta stay, gotta stop
This is too steep to pass
Lo mismo que sentia
Mi mama when se iba
A una tierra que no sabia
Buscando una vida mejor
Cruzando a pesar del dolor
Esto se necesita
Para su hija y su hijo
Para su gente, for her people
I want to see those
Beautiful faces
Smiles with no trace
Of fear or dismay
From a wall to make shade with
Love beyond borders
Florida to California
Never be a wall tall enough to hold us
Back from our greatness and focus
We're the ones we have waited for
The dreams we have chosen
We know we all belong
We know this is our home
These walls can't stop the love
These walls can't hold us
We know we all belong
We know this is our home
These walls can't stop the love
These walls can't hold us down
Now you're on my side
Now you're on my side
Now you're on my side
(Our friends from across the country
And around the world sent us in our languages
"We are the people" and "We belong here."
Languages: Tagalog, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Kurdish
Haitian Creole, Finnish, German, Japanese, Korean, Greek)
We are out here
And we are thriving
And we are loving
And we are living our lives
And no one can stop that
No one can take that away from us
Not any wall
Not any border
Not any law
