Over The Wall

Graham Nash · Other Songs - Graham Nash

Saw it in the summertime

It was gray and dirty

Concrete and barbed wire

Cutting through the city



Break on through to the other side

Was written in graffiti

The wall was long and it was high

Isn't it a pity that



You and I

Learned to cry before we learned to crawl

We've only just come far enough to fall

And all the world is watching over the wall



Mines and machine guns

Try to keep the people down

Passport policemen

Try to keep the others in



How long can this go on?

Keeping everyone apart

Tear all the fences down

Tear down the wall around your heart



It's up to everyone

So start, it really can be done

Take part

The battle can be won over the wall



Over the wall

Over the wall



How bad has it got to be

If they wanna get over here

How good has it got to be

If they have to keep 'em there



Let everybody go

Stop feeding all the fears

Let everybody know

There's got to be some way out of here



Over the wall

Over the wall



And over the wall

Over the wall
