Ooh great wall of love, build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's not good enough
Ah we wait till daylight hours Waiting for a sign from you Golden temples concrete towers Building mansions on the hillside next to you In the city souls awaken bodies shaking Oh pull me up let me see the view And to the hungry in the gutter We've deprived them bread and butter Always not enough No not enough
Great wall of love, build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough.
Ah well it's not the sound of ghosts I hear It's the devil with his chainsaw And I'll be running through the ghettos Through the townships of soweto Always not enough No not enough
Brothers missing, babies kissing And the thing that got to you Burning never turning next to you
Ooh great wall of love Build me a great wall of love When the blind man sings about the peaceful things You shout that it's still not enough
So listen to me darling They've got worries they've got troubles on their mind And when you hear them reaching out They're reaching out for something they can't find
Oh I believe one great day the rain will come And wash this mess away Oh I believe one great day the rain will come
They've got silver and diamonds They've got paradise around them They've got blue skies so clear They've got their prisoner in a wagon While the children chase the dragon And the free bird files so clear It files away Fly fly fly away Fly away Oh you fly away
And may your sweet lips sing to me Let the bells ring wherever freedom be One babe is born and another one dies There's people making love tonight People making love tonight Ah people making love tonight People making love People making love tonight People making love I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out I can hear them reaching out
