Lyrics:
Fear all around you tells you you’re alone,
Urging you to build walls and isolate
I know your fear because I feel it, too
Refrain:
When fear grows deep inside us, remember what unites us
No, nothing can divide us and we’re not alone
Give me your hand to hold when you feel frightened
We can uphold each other in our fear
Person by person, we’ll find strength together
Refrain:
When fear grows deep inside us, remember what unites us
No, nothing can divide us; we’re not alone
When people live in fear for their safety
Let us put privilege on the line for them
Stand with our siblings in solidarity
Refrain:
When fear grows deep inside us, remember what unites us
No, nothing can divide us; we’re not alone
Forward we march together toward God’s kin-dom
Building a bigger table, not taller walls
Working together, nothing is impossible
Refrain:
When fear grows deep inside us, remember what unites us
No, nothing can divide us; we’re not alone
