The Wall
A wall of liquid fears
The whole wide world can hear
Your cries of pain and terror
Are ringing in our ears
I wonder if that wall
Beckons you to recall
The time when we, with the world
Watched Hiroshima and Nagasaki fall
How the world likes to forget
But you never forgot, I bet
Time will only allow it for so long
Before it reminds us of our wrong
We were so quick to burn you to the ground
But, now, we rush to keep you from going down
Why is it so different now
Could it be we both know how
Much we need each other
You have become the brother
We fight with, but can't stand to be without
Because you, now, have too much clout
We need your money on our Wall
We can't afford for it to fall
Embarrassing, but true, indeed
We only rush to help the ones we need
