Who owns the starlight?

and who owns the trees?

Who owns the rivers?

and who's the owner of the seas?



We own the words, the love and hope

and the feel for respect

We own the tears, the smiles and joy

too many times we forget



CHORUS:

Break down the walls

inside our hearts

and let us be united

Break up the ice

in our souls

and love will rise again



Break it down



Who owns a woman?

and who owns a child?

Who owns a coloured man?

and who's the owner of our lives?



We own the wars, the rapes and crimes

and the feel for regret

We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries

too many times we forget



Break down the walls

inside our hearts

and let us be united

Break up the ice

in our souls

and love will rise again



We gotta break it down inside



Break the walls inside our hearts



Break down the walls

inside our hearts

and let us be united

Break up the ice

in our souls

and love will rise again



Break down the walls

inside our hearts

and let us be united

Break up the ice

in our souls

and love will rise again



Break it down, break it down break it down

Break it down, break it down break it down
