Oh the voice of equality Hearsay's all I find Put your money where your mouth is We're running of 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 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 Once and for all I'm crying No man's too great small to Tear down these walls Enough harsh blows, enough put-downs We're all one and the same You are all my brothers Though I don't know you name With drastic measures needed When ashes turn to Will we stand up for each other? Or stand on separate sides? Won't somebody tell me why we hurt another? CHORUS Let's build a bridge and meet halfway And if we fall, we'll fall I know there once was a dark day But the past shouldn't linger on forever Can't we to see with one eye In a world full of all our people
