Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
My mama told me
When I was younger
You better speak up
Don't be a number
My daddy told me
When there was thunder
Go be the lightning
Don't run for cover

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna help the helpless
Sometimes we're all alone
These days we're all just looking
For a place that we call home

[Chorus]
Now we can't climb over
And you can't go 'round
Build them up
We'll tear them down
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
And tear down walls

These walls
Are the mountains that we climb
These walls
Are the great divide
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
Tear down walls

[Verse 2]
The space between us
Is getting wider
We need this bar to
Light the fire
Show me the promise
Give me some dealing
There's too much hurting
We need some healing

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna help the helpless
Sometimes we're all alone
These days we're one step closer
To that place that we call home

[Chorus]
Now we can't climb over
And you can't go 'round
Build them up
We'll tear them down
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
And tear down walls

These walls
Are the mountains that we climb
These walls
Are the great divide
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
Tear down these walls

[Bridge]
I remember when the world was smaller
And we both felt 10 feet taller

[Chorus]
Now we can't climb over
And you can't go 'round
Build them up
We'll tear them down
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
And tear down walls

These walls
Are the mountains that we climb
These walls
Are the great divide
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
Tear down these walls
(These walls)
(These walls)
(These walls)
Tear down these walls
(These walls)
(These walls)
(These walls)
Tear down walls
