The cold winds of cynicism Blow through my native home And in my optimism Sometimes I feel all alone What happened to the feeling That we can make a change Power to the people Is what they used to say Let's rekindle the fire To light the path to a brand new day Break down the walls (these walls) That we put between each other (break down) All the walls (these walls) That keep us apart (break down) Should knock down the walls (these walls) Between us and our dreams (break down) We've gotta topple the walls (these walls)
Around our hearts No one can tell you Which side you're on You've gotta decide for yourself Where the lines are drawn Take off your armor Let the sun shine on your skin Well, we are the future Where it all begins Let's break down the walls (these walls) That they put between us (break down) All the walls (these walls) That we build ourselves (break down) Let's tear down the walls (these walls) All the walls that we can find (break down) Oh the walls (these walls) Inside of our minds
