Lyrics Beyond The Walls - Mike Love

Beyond The Walls

Come on thee oh come on thee
And we shall go
From this land that is in king’s hand
To where the flowers grow
Cause in this place the human race
Can never ever be free
We are the pawns of Babylon
Open your eyes and see
That we have got to find a way
To bring in the end the destruction of earth
And put a stop to these
Political games they play
Oh Lord cause I
I can’t take no more
I and I could never overstand
What they are fighting for
And so I man just close the door
Oh yes I rhasta close the door
Oh Lord the rhasta close the door
Oh back in to the hills I man must go
And at the mountains I man will make my home
Cause I know we can live in harmony
Beyond the walls of the city
Oh just follow me to Zion land
Come to the valley and you will overstand
How we can live it up so wild and free
Beyond the walls of the city
Oh, broken dreams
Shattered by tomorrow
That become yesterdays in Babylon
So much wasted time
Spent drowning in our sorrows
But this is real life
Oh lord so we can’t stay
No, we’ve got to sail away
Come on thee oh come on thee
The exodus is here
We can’t stay any longer
The signs are becoming clear
From pollution in the air we breathe
To the poison in our seas
Population overcrowding
Famine and disease
Awake, awake now Jah people
Arise for this time is so crucial
Alight to a new height of living
Unite and thou shall be forgiven now
Oh rastaman forgiven now
Oh lord forgiven now, forgiven now
Oh back in to the hills I man must go
And at the mountains I man will make my home
Cause I know we can live in harmony
Beyond the walls of the city
Oh, just follow me to Zion land
Come to the valley and you will overstand
How we can live it up so wild and free
Beyond the walls of the city
Oh, many will die
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to suffer
I man don’t know how or why or when
But some may trod on
To the height of mount Zion
Let I be with them
Oh Lord cause I can’t stay
No, I got to sail away
Oh I man see, now is the time
To rearrange and redesign
The way we live to heal the earth
Got to prepare for our children’s birth
If we unite it’s not too late
To open wide mount Zion gate
Though now we stand in the dark of night
We must forward on towards the light
Tear down the walls, rip up the roads
Free up the earth, so the trees can grow
No ownership of Jah Jah land
Return the fields to our father’s hands
So deep within, our mother’s breasts
Planting the seeds in those will be best
To nurture and return to one
All creatures of His creation
Oh can you hear the trumpets call
Didn’t you see the twin sisters fall
That war of the world has now begun
Oh mother nature is on the run
But we must stand firm for it is done
The hour is at hand our true test has come
Let’s stand up for all that is good and right
Jah army arise, Jah people unite
Oh I man see, now is the time
To rearrange and redesign
The way we live to heal the earth
Got to prepare for our children’s birth
If we unite it’s not too late
To open wide mount Zion gate
Though now we stand in the dark of night
We must forward on towards the light
