Walls
Walls, high and low
Thick and thin
They keep you out
They keep you in
Walls narrow and wide
Round the square with warning signs
"Watch out", "Beware"
Brick by brick they built them but it seems to me
Brick by brick they built them
Where they shouldn't be
We should be building bridges to a better day
Where no walls would stand in the way
Walls here and there, everywhere
In every city, every town
We would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
Brick by brick at times they're of a different kind
Brick by brick they built around the heart and mind
Sometimes lasting longer than
The ones that are made of stone
Keeping us apart and alone
These are walls that we don't see
But we built between the you and me
Made of broken dreams
And wounded feelings that go on
Like walls we wish to go away
Could we have ourselves that better day
If we took the chance to simply say that we forgive
And then we'd forget they'd be gone
Oh walls here and there, everywhere
In every city, every town
We would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
Thick and thin
They keep you out
They keep you in
Walls narrow and wide
Round the square with warning signs
"Watch out", "Beware"
Brick by brick they built them but it seems to me
Brick by brick they built them
Where they shouldn't be
We should be building bridges to a better day
Where no walls would stand in the way
Walls here and there, everywhere
In every city, every town
We would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
Brick by brick at times they're of a different kind
Brick by brick they built around the heart and mind
Sometimes lasting longer than
The ones that are made of stone
Keeping us apart and alone
These are walls that we don't see
But we built between the you and me
Made of broken dreams
And wounded feelings that go on
Like walls we wish to go away
Could we have ourselves that better day
If we took the chance to simply say that we forgive
And then we'd forget they'd be gone
Oh walls here and there, everywhere
In every city, every town
We would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
