Debbie Gibson Tear Down These Walls
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
