A kid is killed on any corner
|
From Brooklyn Heights to California
|
There's different ways of gettin' higher
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it
|
The summer's hot, the winter's longer
|
An angry wind is getting stronger
|
You play it cool you stop the fire
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it
|
|
What we all need now, let me show you how
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it...
|
|
They build a wall around a city
|
It's not for looks, it isn't pretty
|
A kid will take his chance and climb it
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it
|
|
Well no one really has to suffer
|
Tear down the walls around each other
|
A kid is lucky to survive it
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it
|
|
What we all need now...
|
|
For every kid on every corner
|
I see a wall that stands no longer
|
The words are written down beside it
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it
|
|
Don't knock it 'til you try it...
|
