Don`t Knock it `Til You Try it

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