Rick Recht - Tear Down the Walls lyrics

Beneath our skin, the action we take The strength we find, the changes we make The hand we hold to a safer place The courage to speak face to face From our ears to our hands, to the ground where we stand We are holy and whole, every woman and man Being together is being alive, only together will we survive Chorus We can tear down the walls, brick by brick, one by one ‘Til our love is greater than fear, ‘til we remember why we are here We can tear down the walls, every daughter, every son So we can build on better land, we can remember where we've come from We can tear down the walls Sometimes the stranger is someone new, sometimes the stranger is part of you The distance we make can cause so much pain or time to turn and look again The birth of a child, the months of the year Through the hurt and the healing, hope reappears Sometimes a field must burn to the ground, for fertile land to come around Chorus Mamlechet Kohanim, a priestly nation are we When we've been starved of our hope and our homes and our lives We've survived on our responsibility
