Verse:   On 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 too small to   Tear down these walls      Verse:   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 the tides   Will we stand up for each other?   Or stand on seperate sides?   Won't somebody tell me why we hurt one another?      Chorus      Bridge:   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 oour people
