Tear Down These Walls Lyrics - Singles - Gibson Debbie

Performed by: Debbie Gibson 

Written by: Deborah Gibson 

Oh the voice of equality 

Hearsay's all I find 

Put your money where your mouth is 

We're running out of time 

Another generation 

In a world of hurtful words 

I listened for a ring of truth 

But lies were all I've heard 

Won't somebody tell me why we hurt one another? 

CHORUS: 

Tear down these walls 

Once and for all I'm trying to 

Tear down these walls 

Tear down these walls 

Once and for all I'm crying 

No man's too great or small to 

Tear down these walls 

Enough harsh blows, enough put-downs 

We're all one and the same 

You are all my brothers 

Though I don't know you by name 

With drastic measures needed 

When ashes turn to tides 

Will we stand up for each other? 

Or stand on separate sides? 

Won't somebody tell me why we hurt one another? 

CHORUS 

Let's build a bridge and meet halfway 

And if we fall, we'll fall together 

I know there once was a dark day 

But the past shouldn't linger on forever 

Can't we try to see with one eye 

In a world full of all our people
