The inspirational ballad, No Wall Too Tall, by folk singer and social change advocate, Raffi, calls for reform of the financial system. This song and many others are available for free download or streaming at the website of the organization Centre for Child Honouring.
People say it’s hopeless, money rules the world
It rules with an iron hand, and we’re helpless in its hold
People say you’re crazy, you can’t break that wall
It’s too old, too big, too strong, it’s never going to fall
I say – think of the Iron Curtain, remember Berlin,
Remember apartheid, look at the state they’re in
There’s no wall too tall
No wall too tall to fall
No wall, no wall too tall
Money vendors crowd the temple, survival crowds the heart
It seems there’s no other way, you’re doomed before you start
But we know a greater power in the hearts of the young and old
Love for all the children, the compassion in our world
And I say : No wall too tall
No wall too tall to fall
No wall, no wall too tall
sound the call, blow the bugle, walls come a tumblin down
in the face of the power of love, the rules start spinning around
No wall too tall
No wall too tall to fall
No wall, no wall too tall
No wall too tall
No wall too tall to fall
No wall, no wall too tall
Music by Raffi, words by Raffi, Gary S. Ross

Thank you for reading this story…
More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we’ve always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all, while striving to make it sustainable as well. Media isn’t free to produce. rabble’s total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our main supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help. You are what keep us sustainable.
rabble.ca has staked its existence on you. We live or die on community support -- your support! We get hundreds of thousands of visitors and we believe in them. We believe in you. We believe people will put in what they can for the greater good. We call that sustainable.
So what is the easy answer for us? Depend on a community of visitors who care passionately about media that amplifies the voices of people struggling for change and justice. It really is that simple. When the people who visit rabble care enough to contribute a bit then it works for everyone.
And so we’re asking you if you could make a donation, right now, to help us carry forward on our mission. Make a donation today.
