| My mama told me When I was younger
|
| You better speak up Don’t be a number
|
| My daddy told me When there was thunder
|
| Go be the lightning
|
| 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 dealing
|
| 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 these walls
|
| I remember when the world was smaller
|
| And we both felt 10 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 these walls
