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
