We build walls All around us, all around us Try to keep what we don't know At a distance, at a distance We don't listen Now if I stood on a corner and asked you for $2 for a Whopper Would you let your cynicism stop you? Would it stop you? Would it stop you? I mean would you? I mean we spend $9.99 on Spotify, but hearing my stomach rumblin', not worth a dime? Not worth a dime? Not even one? Look, or if I had suit and tie, maybe I’d be worth your time? Only money on your mind, cuz we are so selfish Jesus walked with the poor Are we too good for that? Kissing up to God in our prayers to get a promotion To make more money and buy more things, that we don’t need That we just buy to show off for the next guy and still feel poor inside Still feel homeless as the person that we just denied By the way, how have you treated the least of these? Pride and Money, are you a slave to them? Cause you ain't gotta be black to pick cotton off a shelf of an H&M We build walls All around us, all around us Try to keep what we don't know Letras de cancionesAt a distance, oh, at a distance We don't listen Pray to God for the day that we came Put our guns down and see Him in all of our face Can't you see with the hands of the master we made But we don't enjoy the creation of art on display So now when we look at each other I don't want you not to see my color See our differences are not the weakness And in this present we gon' need the master's masterpieces Feel like we all can see them thinking you'd be better if you was more like me I know when it was God, it made you more like you Made in His image, we are all His kids So if I look down on you, I look down on Him I'm a sinner, you a sinner, what's the difference? We all need love, joy, Jesus, and healing We got a lot in common if we would just listen Instead of building more walls, let's build more bridges Let's build more bridges We build walls All around us, all around us Try to keep what we don't know At a distance, at a distance We don't listen From Letras Mania
