STONE BY STONE Music and lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
Once upon a time there was a Wall— It grew within the Hearts of one and all— And there were those who said, “It can’t be true,” Until they saw the harm the Wall could do; Only then they knew how high the Wall had grown Day by day, year by year, STONE BY STONE.
A Bell began to ring one fateful day And many swore they heard an Angel say, “When you save one life you save them all! Love is stronger, stronger than the wall!” All at once, a mighty Trumpet blast was blown And the Wall began to quake, STONE BY STONE.
The Trumpet called for all to hear: “Break the Wall and not the Heart, Give one life another start; And, in the end, it will be shown You made a diff’rence day by day, STONE BY STONE.”
And then the Winds began to blow and blow, Repeating words forgotten long ago: “Anything you give, however small, Takes another stone down from the wall!”
Many say the Winds blew stronger, day by day, Until throughout the Troubled Land the Seeds were sown; And generations would recall How there once had been a Wall, But it crumbled, after all, STONE BY STONE.
Day by day, year by year, someone’s reaching out to you; Is there something you can do To let them know they’re not alone? Miracles don’t happen on their own— They happen day by day and one by one and stone by STONE BY STONE.
