That wall is a terrible place. And it gets almost NO attention. Oh sure, there are some who talk about it. But they’re usually called haters. And do-gooders. And technical stuff like that. But the media barely give it any mention.

Yeah, you won’t find many (if any) politicians talking about it either. From lowly locals all the way “up” to outgoing and incoming presidents. Nobody wants to talk about that wall.

‘Scuse me? You beg to differ? You think there’s more than enough talk about it? Oh wait, I see what happened. You thought I was talking about that so-called blockade kinda thingy down at the southern border of the USA. I guess I can understand your confusion. Sadly, it’s an easy mistake. But I was talking about another one. And…

If You Stand Behind That Wall

There’s a wall here between life and death
Where the unborn are denied their first breath.
There are guards here making sure that life ends
And they don’t care that they’re killing our friends.

Well you can’t plead ignorance.
You don’t stand blameless
When you stand in the middle of it all.
As you discard the innocent you shake foundations.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.

There’s a clear line between right and wrong.
Listen close, please, to the words of this song.
We were all, once, where those babies are now.
Mothers kept us, we all made it somehow.

Well, the martyred little ones your choice keeps nameless
Never had any single choice at all.
Please don’t discard the innocent, they’re God’s creation.
If you stand behind that wall, you will fall.

You will fall from Grace to a hopeless place
With eternal, mournful cries.
And the sound you’ll hear ringing in your ear
Is the sound of your own lies.
