Album: Walls (2018)

  • 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 build 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're 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
    That 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 the walls here and there, everywhere
    In every city, every town we would have that better day
    If all the walls came tumbling down Writer/s: Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Walter Afanasieff
