ARCHITECT | LYRICS

A child and a snake, innocently they play
The one, the other unafraid
Unafraid
The mother sees the two, she cries out in fear
The serpent panics, the serpent bites
The mother cries, and the child
The child learns the mother’s fear
And so it goes

Such is the way we live and learn
Hey there friend, keep your head
And don’t you build your walls

The masses of people and their humble king
High up on the hill, proud of all they have made
Gilded towers gleam beneath the light of the sun
Built by wisdom, work of many hands
Now there’s no light of day and the thieves have all come to play
Will the king put all of his people away?
Build up your walls, put us away
Because of the few who’ve chosen to stray
We’ll rise above, we always do
History shows people like you

Those who lead by fear will lose
Hey there friend, go ahead
And you just build your walls

We don’t need fear
We live our lives
You build your walls
We break them down

Those who lead by fear will lose
Hey there friend, go ahead
And you just build your walls
Build your walls, build them tall
