More and more walls are going up around the world. Whether it’s Donald Trump’s idea for a great wall of Mexico or the Calais fence, stories of structures or barriers that separate one people from another fill the airwaves and screens of the world’s daily news. On my Island utopia, child-like as it may be, the walls would all come down.
lyrics
Bring down the wall break it stone by stone
Bring down the wall shake it to the bone
Tear down the rock take it blow by blow
Tear down the rock make the tear go slow
Throw down your arms believers hell fire burn
Throw down your arms believers turn by turn
Put down the book burn it page by page
Put down the book let the fire rage
Bring down the wall break it run aground
Bring down the wall shake it must come down
I’ll keep the flame burning burning bright
I’ll keep the flame burning shine your light
Veni lassa la casa toa Iessi fore veni cu nui Ca salimu subbra sta nave N’autra voce vulimu a quai Ci uei cangi la vita toa Nu restare bloccatu a ddhai Tira ientu pe navigare Ni nde sciamu de paru moi
Bring down the wall break it stone by stone
Bring down the wall shake it to the bone
Tear down the rock take it blow by blow
Tear down the rock make the tear go slow
I’ll keep the flame burning burning bright
I’ll keep the flame burning shine your light
