Samuel Lockridge - When the Walls Come Crashing Down

From "When I RIse"
As the wind does whisper once again
into our willing ears,
a voice speaks soft, "the hour is near
when the walls come crashing down."
When the earth is red, and sea is black,
and sky has all but vanished,
a single seed will choke our greed
when the walls come crashing down.
If trees should bear their fruit no more
and bears cease to find honey,
you cannot eat or drink your money
When the walls come crashing down.
When man does shed his brother's blood,
when woman serves but one purpose,
the day has come for everyone
to watch the walls come crashing down.
When kings and paper gods are slain,
laid to rest in salted ground,
O, how we'll dance to that thund'rous sound
when the walls come crashing down.
Though many are the nights we've cried,
the sun comes in the morning.
So have no fear of the wild, my dear,
when the walls come crashing down.

it's been five years and I still listen to it. it's incredible how some songs have the same effect on us even after years or decades.
