If you listen to the sound of the hope    In the children's voices asking questions    You'll know how blindness is a blessing    But I know your type, you're always right, your tongue controls your mind    But I guess life's the lesson       If they said 40 years I would die before    I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears    And now the time has come to cut our tongues out    And commit ourselves as you did in your memory       We'll tear down the walls and let them know    We could have it all, we could have some hope    This city could be ours by nightfall       Do you hear the war drums beating?    Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling?    I need to find the center    Because love is something right, it's not cooked up overnight    In sticky situations you try    But less is more forever       If they said 40 years I would die before    I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears    And now the time has come to cut our tongues out    And commit ourselves as you did in your memory       We'll tear down the walls and let them know    We could have it all, we could have some hope    This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall    We'll tear down the walls and let them know    We could have it all, we could have some hope    This city could be ours by nightfall       The minute I was born, you stole my heart    The minute I was born, you stole my heart    The minute I was born, you stole my heart    The minute I was born, the minute I was born       Tear down the walls and let them know    We could go all night, we could just stay home    This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall    Tear down the walls and let them know    We could have it all, we could have some hope    This city could be ours by nightfall
