lyrics

LONGER TABLE

Just look down into those big brown eyes and tell me what you see
I see a long desire to be free just like you and me
I see the fear they’re carrying from the place they left behind
I see love for this new home that they just want to share with you and I

Who are we if we can’t be compassionate and welcoming
And how can we put a barrier between anyone and their dream

Do we need a wall
Or a longer table to serve us all
Do we need surveillance and patrols

Do we need a wall
Or a longer table to serve us all
We need welcome mats all over on the map
Open arms that won’t send them back

Just reach out & feel the hand of the one you used to be, that’s right
Not too many natives here just check it back in the history
We all came from somewhere else from ancestors one family
To and from the dust goes everyone and everything

Who are we if we can’t be compassionate and welcoming
And how can we put a barrier between anyone and their dream
Chorus

Babies eyes grandmothers cries
Cut off a branch the whole tree dies
A trail of tears a thousand years
Will we ever learn the lesson here

We can build an army build a wall
Separate, segregate and isolate them all
If anyone one of us is suffering is anyone really free?
