I did not blow up any buildings I did not wage no phoney wars I did not ask for admiration Or drew attention to my words I was humble, I was easy I was quiet, I was kind I looked out for my neighbours In the deadest of the night And you think you can ignore me Or freeze me up in fear But I stand with the many And our whispers will begin To fill up your voids And to rise over your walls One by one we will join Our hands across your borders Two by two we will chose To stand up for each other Your hate it shouts But love speaks louder still I turned the other cheek I payed my income tax I took care of those in need And tried to give them hope again I built your cars, laid down your streets I cooked your meals and cleaned Your restaurants, your trains and planes And I taught your kids to read And you think you can deride me And take away my pride But I stand with the many And our whispers will collide To fill up your voids And to rise over your walls One by one we will join Our hands across your borders Two by two we will chose To stand up for each other Your hate it shouts But love speaks louder still
