Spitting out through the cracks and dirt Watch it trickle watch it overflow Gain momentum swallow simple life Never want you never want you around here I had a home now it isn't a home I'll protect you I'll protect you I'll still protect you 'Cause people in this town keep staring at the mighty wall Great wall Hold back disaster, comfort me Great wall Don't tumble down around my feet Kiss my cheeks so the children don't know Fight your silence fight it blow by blow You had a heart now show me your heart 'Cause people in this town keep staring at the mighty wall Great wall Hold back disaster, comfort me Great wall It's cracking up now, now can't you see? Great wall Hold back disaster, dam my fear Great wall Don't tumble down I need you here I'll protect you I'll protect you I'll still protect you People in this town keep staring at the mighty wall Great wall Hold back disaster, comfort me Great wall Don't tumble down around my feet Great wall Hold back disaster, dam my fear Great wall Don't crumble down I need you here I need you here
