Lyrics
My mama told me
When I was younger
You better speak up
Don't be a number
My daddy told me
When it was thunder
Go be the lighting
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 ten 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
These walls
These walls
These walls
Tear down these walls
These walls
These walls
These walls
Tear down walls
