Is a subtle but effective plea for a kinder, gentler, more welcoming immigration policy

lyrics

G A D
When the mind fills with fear, the heart may grow cold
G A D
It can happen to anyone both young and old
G A Bm
But fight against the hatred you've been shown
G A D
Open your hearts and you will behold

G A D
Build a longer table not a higher wall
G A D
Open the doors for those who call
G A Bm
The bounty of this world is for us all
G A D
build a longer table not a higher wall

G A D
Let go of protecting what you think you own
G A D
Give up what you can and all that you have sewn
G A Bm
Greed is a heavy, fear laden stone,
G A D
That will leave you hungry and all alone

G A D
Build a longer table not a higher wall
G A D
Open the doors for those who call
G A Bm
The bounty of this world is for us all
G A D
build a longer table not a higher wall

A G
From the bombed out streets of Aleppo
A Bm
To the shores of Greece they come and they go
A G
All they want to do is live in peace
Bm
They say to you
A
They say to me
G
Help us please...Help us please

G A D
Build a longer table not a higher wall
G A D
Open the doors for those who call
G A Bm
The bounty of this world is for us all
G A D
build a longer table not a higher wall
