A Wall Against the Wind

Lyrics

On May Day there's a flag unfurled In city streets across the world And every bell in the city's rung Every freedom song that's yet unsung Will find a voice, will find a way To fill the air On the First of May And in the storm we'll bend Like the willow give But together we will stand A wall against the wind A candle lit for every soul Who's perished along freedom's road At the barricade or in the jail cell To struggle hard is to struggle well Your struggle is alive today We're marching out On the First of May And in the storm we'll bend Like the willow give But together we will stand, my friend A wall against the wind A wall against the wind A wall against the wind In the sweatshop there are whispers In the migrant field, clenched fists And in the prison yard there's a rumor That there's something they might have missed In every mill and mine and shop Every baton swing of every crooked cop Every dirty threat, every boss's curse "Keep your mouth shut. Keep your eyes on your work" Well, I'll take my chances, today's the day! The clock ticks down To the First of May And in the storm we'll bend And like the willow give But together we will stand A wall against the wind And in the storm we'll bend And like the willow give But together we will stand, my friend A wall against the wind A wall against the wind A wall against the wind A wall against the wind A wall against the wind
