Paroles No One is Illegal de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de No One is Illegal

The clouds gather in your forestsAnd drift to my desert townAnd I think of far-off placesAs the rain is coming downYou're bent down in the fieldsPicking fruit there from the vineAnd it ends up on my table As it moves down the lineThe moon shines brightly in the night skyThe river flows from south to northWith the changing of the seasonsThe birds migrate back and forthBut they say that you can't come hereNot in the light of daySomebody has got plans for youStarve at home or hide awayWill we open up the bordersTear down the prison wallsDeclare that no one is illegalWatch the giant as it fallsSo much travel across these bordersSo much is bought and soldOne way goes the gunshipsThe other comes the goldFree trade is like a needleDrawing blood straight from your heartAnd the border's like a prisonKeeping friends apartWill we open up the bordersTear down the prison wallsDeclare that no one is illegalWatch the giant as it fallsHear the stockholders cheeringThe world's growing smallerHear the drowning child crying"Why are the fences growing taller?"Some whisper in the shadowsWhile others count the dollarsSome have suits and tiesOthers, chains and collarsWill we open up the bordersTear down the prison wallsDeclare that no one is illegalWatch the giant as it fallsMay the fortress walls come downMay we meet our sisters and our brothersStand arm in arm there in the daylightNo longer fighting one anotherWill we stand togetherFor therein lies our mightWill we understand these words:"People of the world unite"Will we open up the bordersTear down the prison wallsDeclare that no one is illegalWatch the giant as it falls
