lyrics

Walls hold things up, they keep us in our place
They're square, they're there for what we can't face
Our walls keep us safe, our walls keep us safe

Walls keep us from straying too far from our beliefs
they reject, they protect, they help us stay asleep
Walls silence the questions that lie beneath

I built a wall, hard and high
til I heard voices singing on the other side
I risked the fall, climbed up to see
that the people on the other side, they're just like me

Slow down, soften for a while
turn towards each other, open up and smile
allow yourself to look into the other
and walk a mile, walk a mile, walk a mile

Walls are built to crumble, walls are bound to fall
they lean, they mean to separate us all
no wall can defeat us, no matter how tall

We build our walls with wrong and right
stacking up each judgment, blocking out the light
when my fear falls, I clearly see
that the people on the other side, they're just like me

Slow down, soften for a while
turn towards each other, open up and smile
allow yourself to look into the other
and walk a mile, walk a mile, walk a mile
