Lyrics
Walls
I see you, and you see me
But it doesn't get us where we need to be
I can talk, and you can walk
But we're back at square one eventually
We're building walls, we're building walls
Lord help us, we're building walls(2x)
Come on, people
We gotta get it together now
Gotta say what you're thinking
And say it to me
Come on, children
Like a modern-day Joshua
Gotta break down the walls
And bring 'em tumblin' down, tumblin' down, tumblin' down...
If I could read between the lines
Then I'd see your point and you'd see mine
But crazy circles keep going round
Until tthose walls come a tumblin' down
We're building walls, building walls
Lord help us, we're building walls(2x)
Come on, people
We gotta get it together now
Gotta say what you're thinking
And say it to me
Come on, children
Like a modern-day Joshua
Gotta break down the walls
Bring 'em tumblin' down, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
