Walls lyrics

My mama told me, when I was younger

You better speak up, don't be a number

My daddy told me, when it was thunder

Go be the lighting, don't run for cover

Who's gonna help the helpless?

Sometimes we're all alone

These days, we're all just looking

For a place that we call home

Now we can't climb over, and you can't go round

Build them up, we'll tear them down

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges and tear down walls

These walls are the mountains that we climb

These walls are the great divide

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges, tear down walls

The space between us is getting wider

We need this bar to light the fire

Show me the promise, give me some feeling

There's too much hurting, we need some healing

Who's gonna help the helpless?

Sometimes we're all alone

These days, we're one step closer

To that place that we call home

Now we can't climb over, and you can't go round

Build them up, we'll tear them down

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges and tear down walls

These walls are the mountains that we climb

These walls are the great divide

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges, tear down walls (these walls)

I remember when the world was smaller

And we both felt ten feet taller

Now we can't climb over, and you can't go round

Build them up, we'll tear them down

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges and tear down walls

These walls are the mountains that we climb

These walls are the great divide

Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall

Build more bridges, tear down walls (these walls)

(These walls, these walls, these walls)

Tear down walls (these walls)

(These walls, these walls, these walls)

Tear down walls
