Walls

Walls, high and low
 Thick and thin
 They keep you out
 They keep you in
 ♪
 Walls narrow and wide
 Round the square with warning signs
 "Watch out", "Beware"
 ♪
 Brick by brick they built them but it seems to me
 Brick by brick they built them
 Where they shouldn't be
 We should be building bridges to a better day
 Where no walls would stand in the way
 Walls here and there, everywhere
 In every city, every town
 We would have that better day
 If all the walls came tumbling down
 ♪
 Brick by brick at times they're of a different kind
 Brick by brick they built around the heart and mind
 Sometimes lasting longer than
 The ones that are made of stone
 Keeping us apart and alone
 These are walls that we don't see
 But we built between the you and me
 Made of broken dreams
 And wounded feelings that go on
 Like walls we wish to go away
 Could we have ourselves that better day
 If we took the chance to simply say that we forgive
 And then we'd forget they'd be gone
 Oh walls here and there, everywhere
 In every city, every town
 We would have that better day
 If all the walls came tumbling down
