If I could walk on the water
If only I could fly
Over this border
To freedom before I die
A woman cries beside a wall of names
A broken hearted witness to the shame
She asks, "who will take the blame?"
She's asking you and I
You and I
Stand or fall - welcome to this promised land
Stand or fall - don't let it die at the hands of man
For it's here we fall
So deliver the children
With silence in their eyes
They carry the burden
Of a world filled with lies
Poison in our rivers, oil on the sand
The hunger cries of a homeless man
A rain of acid that burns our land
But where were you and I
You and I
Stand or fall - welcome to this promised land
Stand or fall - don't let it die at the hands of man
For it's here we fall
Here we stand
Oh, come and walk by my side
We'll watch the arms of the world open wide
Nation time
Oh, it's nation time, go!
