Glass Walls
Katherine Makenzie
(Verse 1)
B A#m
Oh, we’re standing here again
G#m
Facing violence and despair
B
Our anger we no longer hide
B
Because we know we have to fight
A#m
To wipe away the ignorance
G#m
To shatter myths and traditions
E
And teach our neighbors what this is
B
It’s torture, it's murder, it's injustice
(Chorus)
B C#m
If we could tear down those brick walls
A#m
And replace them all with glass
E
We'd show the world what it's paying for
B
And make them leave it in the past
C#m
And if we did the same with thoughts
A#m
And listened to what's in our hearts
E
We'd see the day
N.C.
When every animal is free
(Pre-verse) B A#m G#m E
(Verse 2)
B A#m
No, we will not go away
G#m
Or hide compassion in shame
B
We know what's right, we know what's wrong
B
This movement is for everyone
A#m
We all feel love, we all feel pain
G#m
We have to stop this othering
E
We must learn how to be responsible
B
And stop harming the ones who don't look like us
(Chorus)
B C#m
If we could tear down those brick walls
A#m
And replace them all with glass
E
We'd show the world what it's paying for
B
And make them leave it in the past
C#m
And if we did the same with thoughts
A#m
And listened to what's in our hearts
E
We'd see the day
N.C. B
When every animal is free
B F# A#m E B F# A#m E Free (x 8)
(Chorus)
B C#m
If we could tear down those brick walls
A#m
And replace them all with glass
E
We'd show the world what it's paying for
B
And make them leave it in the past
C#m
And if we did the same with thoughts
A#m
And listened to what's in our hearts
E
We'd see the day
B
When every animal is free
C#m
If we could tear down those brick walls
A#m
And replace them all with glass
E
We'd show the world what it's paying for
B
And make them leave it in the past
C#m
And on the day we see the truth
A#m
We will change the way we view
E (strummed once)
The animals,
N.C. B
Let's build glass walls
B C#m A#m E (strummed once)
N.C. Let's build glass walls
