Don't you know it's my way out
To be on my own
When I feel like crying out
I do it best alone
Can you give me love and
Protection to shield my heart
All the fear I feel from doubt
Is tearing me apart
I wanna love, I wanna give
I want to find another way to live
Another shout, another cry
And the walls come tumbling down
Don't you know there's no way out
Your pain's your own
And the more we scream and shout
The more we feel alone
I can feel my anger rising
Am I to blame?
And I'm not gonna keep it inside me
Do you feel the same?
I wanna love, I wanna give
I want to find another way to live
Another shout, another cry
And the walls come tumbling down
on your own today
lost with no direction
they took your dreams away
and stripped you of protection
but there's a light that won't burn out
when your heart is screaming out
is screaming
it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind the walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone
on my own again
with open invitations and the world i'm in
is such a new sensation
but there's a light that won't burn out
if your heart begins to doubt
it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind that walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
it won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone
maybe a path to glory
it maybe a road to dust
it maybe there's one great story in all of us
in all of us, yeah
on your own today
lost with no direction
they took your dreams away
and stripped you of protection
but there's a light that won't burn out
when your heart is screaming out
is screaming
it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind the walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
it won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
(as the last flame flickers out)
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
(as the last flame flickers out)
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
there must be something beautiful in us
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
there must be something beautiful in us
Walks in the park, kissing in the dark.
It was all a lark- another sad old joke.
I should've known- it's happened before.
Those days of yore have taught me nothing.
Leading myself around like a little boy lost in the city of lights.
From teacher to student, Helena to Prudence.
Nights crying to my cat.
Lie on my bed of thorns, rest my head on a rock
And watch my walls turn black.
Maybe raise my empty glass to propose a toast.
Ha- the spirits gone.
Don't look back and I won't look ahead.
I've always favored the things I dread.
Glutton for punishment- that's my line.
We all have our crosses to bear.
I've tried- I've cried- don't bother me.
I've strived- I've lied- I don't want to see.
I've cheapened- I've weakened- my tanks are low.
(There's cracks on these walls
Ten thousand feet tall
Don't know what to do with them all) X2
I'm gonna build a million metre ladder
And I'm gonna fix them all
Someones tried to get out
Someones tried to get in
You know it weighs a tonne
You know my ego wears a grin
Someones tried to get out
Someones tried to get in
You know it weights a tonne
You know my patience is wearing thin
I'm gonna find a hundred million people and I'll turn them into one...
Of these walls
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
And I think that her time's not done
(The roof is falling down
And the ceiling wears a frown
At the only house in town where the ceiling falls down) X2
So let's rip up every slate and slab and see what's going down
And these walls
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
And I think that the beat is done
She's a real life girl in this fucked up world
And I suggest you call her the one
Disposable world full of throwaway girls
(SIEGE)
Walls that part humanity
Over which I cannot see
Walls as old as history
Cast a shadow over me
Break down the walls
Take down them all
Break down the
Take down the
Shake down the
Walls that divide the nations
Keep them in isolation
Segregate the populations
Beat down the opposition
Break down the walls
Take down thm all
Break down the
Take down the
Shake down the
Barriers that divide
Trapping me inside
Bring apartheid to an end
Cross the border
Make a friend
Break down the walls
Take down them all
Break down the
Take down the
You say hello,
nowhere to go,
against the wall,
you start to fall.
Under the heavens floating gently,
a vision I long to see will be,
finding the road to resolution,
watching the day break over me.
And the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
I touch you heart,
I feel your pain,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You're not alone,
you're not to blame,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
There's no disgrace,
beyond the shame,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You're hurt inside,
I feel the same,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
Under the heavens floating gently,
a vision I long to see will be,
finding the road to resolution,
watching the day break over me.
You look inside your soul and then,
you criticize your life again,
you face the truth without a doubt,
you feel you have to scream and shout,
to let the demons out,
to save you from the depths of darkness,
free your soul, return to calmness...today.
And the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You say hello,
nowhere to go,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
against the wall,
you start to fall.
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
Listen
if you listen
you will hear an endless heartbeat
on the inside
through the walls
the sound is crawling
down the corridors and halls
it cracks the ceiling
the windows and the doors
all the rest won't listen
though the walls have ears
but they never really look
they just stand and stare
they're all standing
staring at the walls
who put the writing on the walls?
will no-one ever know?
Oh, well I don't mind the walls
Tell me
why don't you tell me?
have you got nothing to say?
tell me where in hell this place is
tell me why I get no answers
am I talking, taking to the walls?
so it's running, jumping, standing still
well I think I've had enough of it all
get your hands up
up against the wall
(well, I'm never going back to the factory
no I'll never be a part of the machinery)
who put the writing on the wall?
who fights and runs away?
the minutes and the hours pass him
tracing out the days
the days and nights drag into years
and no-one ever knows
Oh, well I don't mind the walls
Oh, well I don't mind the walls
I don't mind the walls
Submitted by Michael Hack
The walls are all surrounding
What's behind the paint?
I put up all my hangings
But do they hide the stains?
All the pictures on the paper
Never changed the way I look inside
I'm surfacing to the light
And walls peeling around me
Crumbling, falling
I can't hold them up
Walls peeling around me
We're standing so proudly
Can't hold them up to Your light
The truth is now likening
The rich to the beggars, oh
A name is just a name
When you're powerless and pained
And Shalom's far away
See, the mighty walls will tremble
With nothing left to keep this front alive
Held up to the light
Walls peeling around me
Crumbling, falling
I can't hold them up
Walls are peeling around me
We're standing so proudly
But I can't hold them up to Your light
Walls all crumble around me
Tumbling, falling
I can't hold them up
As hard as I try
Walls, peeling around me
And You see through the proudest
Now I can't hold them up to Your light
[Chorus:]
I'm feelin it fill the glass to the top with Moet
Feelin it feel the Lex pushin up on the set
I'm feelin it through the high that you get from the lie
Feelin it if you feel it raise your l in the sky
[Verse 1:]
I keep it realer than most I know your feelin it
Cristal on ice I like those toes I keep spillin it
Bone crushers I keep real close I got the skill for this
On my back the fliest clothes lookin ill and shit
Transactions illegitimate cause life is still a bitch
And then you die but for now life close your eyes and feel this dick
Since diapers had nothin to live for like them lifers but
Makin sure every nigga stay rich within my cipher
We paid the price to circular success they turned my mic up
I bout to hit these niggas that'll light they life up
If every nigga in your clique is rich your clique is rugged
Nobody before cause everyone would be each others crutches
I hope you fools choose to listen I drop jewels bust it
These are the rules I follow in my life you gotta love it
Jiggy jigger lookin gully in the joint
If y'all niggas ain't talkin 'bout large money what's the point
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Even if it ain't sunny hey I ain't complainin
I'm in the rain doing a buck 40 hydroplanin what shorty
(Where you disappear son)
Maintainin puttin myself in a position most of these rappers ain't in
I'm livin the ill streets blues got you hunger painin
Nothin to gain and a whole lot to lose you still singin fool
I'm thorough in every boro my name be ringin
Warmin it up for the perfect time to hit your brain and
Ya Feelin it to all the girls I bought the girdle to conceal my bricks
No doubt they can vouch my life is real as shit
95 south and poppy on the hill and shit
And all the towns like Cambridge that I killed wit shit
And all the thorough ass niggas that I hustle wit
Throw your joints in the air one time and bust your shit
These fake rappers cant really know I'm lovin it ya feelin it
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3:]
What y'all ain't heard that nigga Jay high
The Cristals they keep me wet like Baywatch
I keep it tight for all the nights my mom prayed I'd stop
Said she had dreams that snipers hit me with a fatal shot
Those nightmares mom
Those dreams you say you got give me the chills
But these mils make me hot y'all feel me
Enough to stop the illin right
But at the same time these dimes keep me feelin tight
I'm so confused
OK I'm gettin weeded now I know I'm contradicting myself
Look I don't need that now
It just once in a blue moon when there's nothin to do and
The tension's too thick for my sober mind to cut through
I get disownin me and the chick goin to the island we're bonin
I free my mind sometimes I here myself moanin
Take one more toke and I leave that weed alone man
It got me goin shit
[Chorus x3]
Turn off everything
Turn out the light
Turn off my thoughts for once
Who needs this life
Can't speak
Can't hear
Only the hurt is crystal clear
Need you
Don't hide
When you're near me all is fine
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
For all time
Silent room
The light is out
My thoughts are gusts of wind
I'm full of doubt
Don't care, don't know
My only love who doesn't show
And this is why
All I ever do these days is cry
Where are you
Why won't you call
Since you've gone
I talk to the wall
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
I'm not ashamed to say that I've loved you well
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I'm just a name, that's all, scratched upon your wall
You've used it well but what the hell that's what walls are for
I'm not ashamed to listen to the fast-fallin' rain
In the morning upon my window
I'm not afraid to cry, I'm not ashamed to try
To be your friend once again 'cause that's what's friends are for
Friends are for sorting out the hang-ups that we hide
Walls are for shutting out the love we feel inside
I'm not ashamed no, to talk it over once again
To rearrange my vocabulary
But I can't seem to find any words to change your mind
Because I left them all behind and that's what words are for
Words are for explaining the mistakes, we might have made
Names are for calling when there's nothing left to say
I'm not ashamed, no, to say that I've loved you well
I'm not ashamed and yet I know
I'm just a name, that's all, scratched upon your wall
You've used it well but what the hell that's what walls are for
I'm not ashamed of wearing out my old gray socks
Chasing you around the back woods
I'm not ashamed to darn nor too proud to find some yarn
(feat. Cat Power)
Some days we get a thrill in our brains
Some days it turns into malaise
You see your face in the veneer
Reflected on the surface of fear
Because you know we're better than that
But some days we're worse than you can imagine
And how am I supposed to live with that
With all these train wrecks coming at random
Hey what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you
Hey what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you
You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
You treat distraction like it's a religion
With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
We do the best with the souls we've been given
Because you know we're nothing special to them
We're going some place they've already been
Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom
And this riff raff ain't laughing with them
Hey what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
Falling down on you
Hey what are you gonna do
When those walls are falling down
You're surrounded by friends in all the places
The smiles on all the faces you don't recognize
You've been abandoned by the ones with all the answers
The balances and transfers give you peace of mind
And all I can say is I try everything
To get through to you
You've got walls I'll never climb
You're in a place I'll never find
And even when you're getting close
You're further every time
You've got walls I'll never climb
You're in a place I'll never find
And even when you're getting close
You're further every time
You're in a place I'll never find
So you are leaving on a plane of good intentions
Saying that we'll be friends and talk real soon
You're guarded by a love that never landed
You're crossing the Atlantic but there's no room
And all I can say is I try everything
To get through to you
You've got walls I'll never climb
You're in a place I'll never find
And even when you're getting close
You're further every time
You've got walls I'll never climb
You're in a place I'll never find
And even when you're getting close
You're further every time
You're in a place I'll never find
So give up what's surrounding you
And let me get inside
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundown?s are golden
Then fade away
If I ever do nothing
I'll get you back some day
?Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold on forever
Even walls fall down
All around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold on forever
Even walls fall down
Somethings are over
Somethings go on
Part of me you carry
Part of me is gone
And you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold on forever
Even walls fall down
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold on forever
We believe in mountains of gold
And the story of the sea
We believe in rhythms untold
We believe in endless fields of nothin' yeah
So go on and leave me with your bustlin'
Don't try to tell me, you have gone away
Little boy wake up, wake up fast
You know this life ain't never gonna last
Always on the wrong side of those railroad tracks
Never, ever, ever looking back
Don't try to tell me or even sell me
Just give me what you're walkin' on
History's your lesson, indeed your question
Just give me what you're walking on
You look tired my friend from living
Just outside those walls
You look tired my friend and so
Your voice surely calls
We believe in mountains of gold
And the story of the sea
We believe in rhythms untold
We believe in endless fields of nothin' yeah
(aka October Month)
I'm surrounded by walls
They grow closer when I sleep
And the ceiling falls
When I try to stand up on my feet
I'm looking for doors
But they disappear when I breathe
There are plenty of floors
But they can't hold me
How hard can it be?
Must all sweet things go sour?
Do all adventures have an end?
Every waking hour
I long to bring him back again
In a crowded room
I make-believe I'm somewhere bound
Wear my best perfume
Fooling everyone around
I'm not what I seem
I'm as under a spell
Watching and no-one can tell
Sometimes life is a question, you don’t want to ask
Sorting through the lonely broken pieces of your past
When you can’t find a reason, the will or the way
Every second here another breath you know you have to take
The answer’s there hiding in the lies
It’s gonna be alright
***CHORUS***
When the walls fall down
And you find the truth
Shadows run for cover
Light comes shinning through
Every Chance you take
Could be your saving grace
There’s a calm inside your soul that’s only found
When the walls fall down
Don’t know where you’re going but you see the other side
You’re hearts feeling something that you almost recognize
Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s in the wind
Here and now you know it’s where you’re second chance begins
You don’t ask why, there’s hope in your eyes
You’re ready to try
***CHORUS***
When the walls fall down
And you find the truth
Shadows run for cover
Light comes shinning through
Every Chance you take
Could be your saving grace
There’s a calm inside your soul that’s only found
When the walls fall down
Bridge:
Tears on your face say what you can’t say
What you believe can set you free
***CHORUS***
When the walls fall down
And you find the truth
Shadows run for cover
Light comes shinning through
Every Chance you take
Could be your saving grace
There’s a calm inside your soul that’s only found
When the walls fall down
***CHORUS***
When the walls fall down
And you find the truth
Shadows run for cover
Light comes shinning through
Every Chance you take
Could be your saving grace
There’s a calm inside your soul that’s only found
When the walls fall down
Fifteen hours I've been staring at these walls
Waiting for the call that never comes
I thought I had it figured out
Giving you the benefit of doubt
Every day you build the wall
And I'm trying to break through
Brick by brick I'll tear it down
Until I reach the other side and you
You've made us prisoners
And I'm trying to set us free
But the final stones between us
Could be the very ones placed there by me
Fifteen months I've been staring at the wall
Waiting for the day that never comes
I placed my faith in someone else
What did you promise to yourself?
It's turned to dust
Did you build it just to see
Who cared enough to try to tear it down?
Fifteen years I've been trapped behind this wall
Waiting for the change that never comes
Still I try to open up the door
But it's been oh so long,
I can't recall the other side anymore
I'll be waiting
I will wait for you
I'll be waiting
Pick up that piece of wood
Use it for therapy and nothing else
And i've been misunderstood
In a world of negatives, you find happiness
Happiness sit for days, eating nothing but my head
As i watched our world collide
Now that all you have is all you need
I give you all you need to, all you need to find
And i dont know, if you're holding on to what you've got
I'm so tired, i'll be holding on to this sweet love
I'll be holding on to this sweet love, sweet love
And now our world's colliding, and i feel walls, and i
feel walls, walls...
And i don't know, if you're holding on to what you've got
I'm so tired, i'll be holding on to this, sweet love
I'll be holding on to this, sweet love
And now our world's colliding, and i feel walls,
And I feel walls,
Don't you feel those walls?
You build the walls that block your way
Hey kid you're in over your head
You build the walls that block your way
Excess unease
Avoid repeat
High frequency
2 years no one
Too late relive
Delay onset
Severe prevent
No cause effect
You build the walls that block your way
Hey kid you're in over your head
You build the walls that block your way
Drop off decline
On edge all times
Refuse to try
Recurring dream
Replays
Off the side of a mountain
So high
I never realize in time
So high
You build the walls that block your way
Hey kid you're in over your head
On your own today lost with no direction
They took your dreams away and stripped you of protection
But there's a light that won't burn out
When your heart is screaming out, is screaming
It doesn't matter where you are
There is life behind the walls around you
It doesn't matter where you start
Won't be long, won't be long until
The walls around you are gone
On my own again with open invitations
And the world I'm in is such a new sensation
But there's a light that won't burn out
If your heart begins to doubt
It doesn't matter where you are
There is life behind the walls around you
It doesn't matter where you start
It won't be long, won't be long until
The walls around you are gone
Maybe a path to glory, it maybe a road to dust
It maybe there's one great story in all of us, in all of us, yeah
On your own today lost with no direction
They took your dreams away and stripped you of protection
But there's a light that won't burn out
When your heart is screaming out, is screaming
It doesn't matter where you are
There is life behind the walls around you
It doesn't matter where you start
Won't be long, won't be long until
The walls around you are gone
('Cos when the walls are closing in another day begins
(As the last flame flickers out)
'Cos there's something good in us
('Cos when the walls are closing in another day begins)
(As the last flame flickers out)
'Cos there's something good in us
('Cos when the walls are closing in another day begins)
There must be something beautiful in us
'Cos there's something good in us
('Cos when the walls are closing in another day begins)
We are one but we're not the same
For a thousand years we've played this game And the tension rises up
Ya the passion's given up
So our God reaches to unite
While amongst ourselves we fight
And I'm sick of wasting time
Ya I got something on my mind
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
No you can never stop it from coming
Those against me can take off running
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Cause the truth that has been said
Will unite us once again
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Can we practice what we preach
And turn these fists into hands that reach Embrace ourselves with open
arms Turn this hate into loving heart
What goes up, must come down
So I'll march towards this town
And undo what has been done
Tear down these bricks and stones one by one
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
So lift your hands, move your feet
Get your, get yourself ready
Lift your flags, hit the streets
And charge
No you can never stop it from coming
Those against me can take off running
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
Cause the truth that has been said
Will unite us once again
Cause there's something going down
Ya these walls are coming down
No you can never stop it from coming
La La La...
When I saw you, I thought I knew you.
But that's too easy for me.
Just a glass of red wine,
is like a key to the inside,
you can run but you can't hide.
I don't wanna say no more, no more.
CHORUS
I just can't tell you I love you.
It's gonna take some time.
I've built these walls all around me.
Let's see if you can climb.
And I don't, I don't know why they're so high.
But I can't tell you I love you.
Please don't touch me.
Please don't judge me.
Just go easy on me.
But my confession is that I want you.
Maybe that can launch you over to the other side.
CHORUS
I used to be the kind who just surrendered.
But I learned love is never real for the pretenders,
and I'm no pretender.
Rain on your mind
If I'm so inclined
It's left you all
At there photo stall
One blast, my fast
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go
And all you want
To be is a God
You're safe as that
My friend go back
Of time, time
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
So you wanna know, where you're gonna go?
There's only death
And I say that yet
This life is a frontier of pain
Disgust, disgust
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?
(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go
(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?
(Walls)
So you wanna know, where youre gonna go?
(Walls)
Once I'm cornered, I can't center
I will go beyond
Plans to kill me seem to falter
I am not my own
Eyes can't see me or the others
You do things our way
Extra meaning, truth won't free them
Not worth a thing I say
Hey there, it's good to see you again
It never felt right calling this just friends
I'm happy if you're happy with yourself
Take off your shirt, your shoes
Those skinny jeans I bought for you
We're diving in, there's nothing left to lose
I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself
I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else
Could ever mean half as much to me as you do now
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around
Let the walls break down
I used to wear you like a ball and chain
I'd run and hide at the call of my name
It was obvious, you were too much for me
Oblivious, I was young and horny
In retrospect, I wouldn't do it again
Stop talking shit to every one of your friends
I'm not the same boy you knew back then
'Cause I can break down these walls I built around myself
I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else
Could ever mean half as much to me as you do now
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around
Let the walls break
I can't breathe, my body's shaking
You got a way with the way you take me
'Cause you break me down
You know you break me down
I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself
I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else
Could ever mean half as much to me as you do now
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around
Let the walls break down
(I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself)
Let the walls break down
(I'm gonna break down these walls)
'Cause you break me down
('Cause you break me down, 'cause you break me down)
I have nothing for you,
Nothing at all,
Nothing at all.
My head is bleeding from
Banging it against this wall,
Banging it against this wall.
But what's it all for?
But what's it all for?
'Cause I don't know if I know anymore.
And you have nothing for them,
And that is fair enough,
Yes, that is fair enough.
And I know your nose bleeds for
No reason at all,
No reason at all.
But what's it all for?
What's it all for?
'Cause I don't know if I know anymore.
This insignificance is overwhelming me,
Is overwhelming me.
This insignificance is overwhelming me,
It's overwhelming me.
You promised me there was
A point to this all,
A point to this all.
And you told me I had to just sit tight it'll be alright,
Just sit tight it'll be alright,
Just sit tight it'll be alright,
Just sit tight it'll be alright,
Just sit tight it'll be alright.
My nose bleeds,
Your head bleeds.
So maybe what I thought were good intentions,
were nothing of the kind at all, I was better off before
And doubting that I put aside convention, and bring you flowers like the last time, will it count for something more
When it feels like...
Walls, are between us
Walls, are keeping us apart
I'll find my way, and I'm gonna stay, in a place where I can see you over these walls
Assuming I'm not one who likes to gamble, when the game is played for keeps, umm, and your heart is on the table
I promise that I'll never give up easy, but the past speaks so much softer than the present ever could
So looking back I guess I see,
Who you really are and what you mean to me
True love, is heard to find,
I'll say sorry, give me time
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
And then fade away
And if I never do nothing
I'll get you back someday
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And i can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
All around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the dangers
And holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
And half of me is ocean
And half of me is sky
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Somethings are over
Somethings go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And i can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And i can't hold out forever
Man against man just ain't the plan
It's time for God's people to take a stand
I mean brother to brother, black to white
Stand up to the problem and begin to fight
Not against each other, you're wastin' time
Yo, I'm referring to a battle of minds
Not through debate or writin' on the walls
This kinda action is delayin' the cause
An eye for an eye, fight fire with fire
It's our turn to take it one step higher
Gotta live by example, show brotherly love
We're together on Earth, we'll be together above
So we're
(chorus)
Tearin' down the walls
Of segregation
Unity abroad
New revelation
Tearin' down the walls
Of segregation
Unity abroad
In every nation
To label churches by color ain't nothin' but
wrong
We're in the same crew, we're singin' one song
If you're in God's army, that makes you my kin
Yo, our common bond is the Father of men
Of all attributes that we should possess
Love is in the Word ahead of all the rest
No negotiation to love a certain nation
All means all, with no discrimination
Boy, we can set a precedence the world can cop
Yo, fellow believer, now's the time to stop
Racism within our lines
Today is the time for this love to shine
So we're
(repeat chorus)
(vamp)
Judge a man by His heart, not color of skin
God views a man from what's held within
And, you're called one of His, so you gotta know
To be Christ-like is the way that you go
And my brothers and sisters in one accord
Yo, we're the sheep, and the Shepherd's the Lord
So whether black sheep, white sheep, or even
swirl
God watches over all the sheep of the world
So tell me whassup when ya know the command
The Word's bold, "Love your fellow man!"
And treat Him like you would treat yourself
Pull brotherly love off ya dusty shelf
i hope you'll find your if's when last precautions made
and you've failed to change the world
from underneath this roof
you thought would keep you sane
and awake from an eversetting sun
something you will never touch
and you will always deny
looking for a name to fill the lies
a last resort for every hole that out love will never
fill
something i can never trust
and i will never see why
looking for a lie to suit the name
i owe this piece of heart to them and the will to make
a choice
i stand corrected now
everything it takes and every line thats in between
to laugh between the tears when everything gone down
to these last and critical goodbyes
and when the timers set a million eyes will stare
at the flames of an everlasting fire
something you will never touch
and you will always deny
looking for a name to fill the lies
a last resort for every hole that out love will never
fill
something i can never trust
and i will never see why
looking for a lie to suit the name
i owe this piece of heart to them and the will to make
a choice
i stand corrected now
everything it takes and every line thats in between
the safe and sound
i will fail to remain this soulless being for long
I turn away, there's nothing to see here
Only a distant memory of how things
Really were supposed to be
And life moves on ever so quickly
I see my past, it flashes by
Like the stars in the sky flickering
And the years come around
Years come around, I'm left here praying
That the tears falling down
Tears falling down are worth me saving
And I don't know how to go on
Tear down the walls of your life
You can't stop them anymore
Tear down the walls of your life
And find your way
How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
How long, how long must we run?
I lost my way when I was younger
I regret lots of things I did
Just maybe I didn't give quite enough
And the years turn around
Years turn around, their faces fading
And the years going by
Years going by, there's no replacing
And the souls will all carry on
Tear down the walls of your life
You can't stop them anymore
Tear down the walls of your life
And find your way
How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
How long, how long must we run?
Tear down the walls
How long can this life carry on?
How long? Watch the walls
Watch them burning down
Some walls are made of stone
Some times we build our own
Some walls will stand for years
Some wash away with tears
Some walls are lined with gold
Some hearts stay safe and cold
Some walls are made of doubt
Holding in and keeping out
Chorus:
If there's any hope for love at all
Some walls must fall
Some walls are built on pride
Some keep a child inside
Some walls are made in fear
That love let go will disappear
Chorus
How will you ever know what might be found
Until you let the walls come tumbling down
