If you listen to the sound of the hope 



In the children's voices asking questions



You'll know how blindness is a blessing



But I know your type, you're always right, 



your tongue controls your mind



But I guess life's the lesson

If they said 40 years I would die before 



I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears



And now the time has come to cut our tongues out



And commit ourselves as you did in your memory 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 



We could have it all, we could have some hope



This city could be ours by nightfall

Do you hear the war drums beating?



Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling?



I need to find the center



Because love is something right, it's not cooked up overnight



In sticky situations you try



But less is more forever

If they said 40 years I would die before 



I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears



And now the time has come to cut our tongues out



And commit ourselves as you did in your memory 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 



We could have it all, we could have some hope



This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall



We'll tear down the walls and let them know 



We could have it all, we could have some hope



This city could be ours by nightfall

The minute I was born, you stole my heart



The minute I was born, you stole my heart



The minute I was born, you stole my heart



The minute I was born, the minute I was born

Tear down the walls and let them know



We could go all night, we could just stay home



This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall



Tear down the walls and let them know



We could have it all, we could have some hope



This city could be ours by nightfall
