Once, long, long ago, In a world far, far away, Shown a hopeful land known as Freedom. Each soul could come and go. No one stood in the way. All shared and loved and all were welcome. One day came a blow, Winds of fear fanning hate, 'Til peace and joy were abandoned. Instead spread dread and woe. Lady Liberty cried all day, Her torch was snuffed her light was gone. You can't build a wall around freedom;  you can't raise offense that high. No way to lock in freedom, no matter how hard you try. You can't build a wall around freedom. Freedom shines from heaven's eye. If you want a wall around freedom, got to stretch it mighty wide. Make sure your freedom wall stands high enough to reach the sky. When you finish hiding freedom hope you find the freedom side. Freedom's people build a wall their country to surround. But Freedom is a spirit you cannot get around. In the end what they found:  Freedom lost when Freedom is bound. You can't build a wall around freedom;  you can't put one up that tall. Your wall around freedom is only pride before your fall. If it's got a wall around it, it ain't Freedom after all.
