Stand Or Fall

If I could walk on the water If only I could fly Over this border To freedom before I die A woman cries beside a wall Of names A broken hearted witness To the shame She asks, "Who will take the blame?" She's asking you and I You and I Stand or fall--welcome to this promised land Stand or fall--don't let it die at the hands of man For it's here we fall. So deliver the children With silence in their eyes They carry the burden Of a world filled with lies Poison in our rivers, oil on the sand The hunger cries of a homeless man A rain of acid that burns our land But where were you and I You and I Oh come and walk by my side Together we'll watch the Arms of the world open wide For it's nation time Nation time! Go!
