When the Wall Comes Down |
What’cha gonna do |
When the wall comes down |
When the wall comes down |
What you oughta do |
Is let it lie |
Let it lie |
And in the gathering darkness vow |
To never go back |
It was built by man and you can tear it down |
Tear it down |
Tear it down |
Step back, Jack, from the darkness |
What’cha gonna do |
When the shackles fall |
When the shackles fall |
What you oughta do |
Is melt them down |
Melt them down |
Turn them into tools and make a garden |
On the prison grounds |
Turn your chains to roses, child |
Tear it down |
Tear it down |
Step back, Jack, from the darkness |
But while I’m here |
I’m gonna sing just like a songbird |
What’cha gonna do when the hunger’s gone |
When the hunger’s gone |
Pity the child who goes without |
Goes without |
Give him no reason to falter |
On his way down |
It’s a beautiful world but painful, child |
Tear it down |
Tear it down |
Step back, Jack, from the darkness |
But while I’m here |
I’m gonna sing just like a songbird |
