Our wall's so high you would not recognize But fire burned and minimized the way it sat for all my life Kissed Persia goodbye, you see I brought a plan To get Jerusalem strong again The wall was where I'd start Oh!
It's a tough task making this wall complete We said goodbye to dinnertime and sports There are kids making some fun of me And I hope those boys, Sanballat and Tobias, get bored
They tried their best to keep us occupied Said they'd come in with their knives It's hard but we work side by side Oh, kept saying stuff 'bout me that's just insane Pretending I built this thing To turn around and be the king Whatever
This wall has taken us seven weeks Three days till I can finish up the doors Wal-Mart did make a good wall for cheap But I had no choice 'cause I don't live nearby any stores
I fixed this broken thing, repaired these openings I ain't your average Pink Floyd guy (Nehemiah, me oh my) I can't sing all their hits, but I know 'Another Brick' Let me sing for you 'cause I'm Nehemiah, how do you do?
Ezra has taken the scroll to read We said goodbye to sins we tried before Four hundred and forty-four B.C. and I have no Floyd And I can't play guitar like Gilmore
It's rough just making this song funny We had to try and then we tried some more And I'd like to break the monotony We say Maroon 5 should end it at the chorus
Guess what I'm making this all up here Read Nehemiah and Ezra right before Work hard and pray with a fervency But I have no voice so I so I will fade this right here for sure
