VERSE1:
Oh the voice of equality
Hearsay`s all I find
Put your money where your mouth is
We`re running out of time
Another generation
In a world of hurtful words
I listened for a ring of truth
But lies were all I`ve heard
Won`t somebody tell me why we hurt one another?
CHORUS:
Tear down these walls
Once and for all I`m trying to
Tear down these walls
Tear down these walls
Once and for all I`m crying
No man`s too great or small to
Tear down these walls
VERSE2:
Enough harsh blows, enough put-downs
We`re all one and the same
You are all my brothers
Though I don`t know you by name
With drastic measures needed
When ashes turn to tides
Will we stand up for each other?
Or stand on separate sides?
Won`t somebody tell me why we hurt one another?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Let`s build a bridge and meet halfway
And if we fall, we`ll fall together
I know there once was a dark day
But the past shouldn`t linger on forever
Can`t we try to see with one eye
In a world full of all our people
