See her looking down the highway
See the moving van pull in
See her life all put in boxes
Hoping in the end
Maybe she will win

See him waiting at the airport
See him checking in his case
See him rolling down the runway
Hope is written on his face
Heading for a better place

But we are here to stay
And we won't go away
And we are proud to say that we're here
We are here to stay
And we won't go away
And we are proud to say that we're here

Everybody thinks the grass is greener
From a distance things look smaller
Sometimes there's nothing there at all
So you go to earn a dollar
You can't hear your friends at all
Until you hit the wall

Music

Block by block you're building a wall
Brick by brick you're having a ball
Stone by stone it's going up all around me
Piece by piece you're building a wall
Bit by bit it's so biblical
Step by step one day it will fall and you'll see

We are here to stay
We won't go away
And we are proud to say that we're here
We are here to stay
And we won't go away
And we are proud to say that we're here
