Who owns the starlight?   and who owns the trees?   Who owns the rivers?   and who's the owner of the seas?      We own the words, the love and hope   and the feel for respect   We own the tears, the smiles and joy   too many times we forget      CHORUS:   Break down the walls   inside our hearts   and let us be united   Break up the ice   in our souls   and love will rise again      Break it down      Who owns a woman?   and who owns a child?   Who owns a coloured man?   and who's the owner of our lives?      We own the wars, the rapes and crimes   and the feel for regret   We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries   too many times we forget      Break down the walls   inside our hearts   and let us be united   Break up the ice   in our souls   and love will rise again      We gotta break it down inside      Break the walls inside our hearts      Break down the walls   inside our hearts   and let us be united   Break up the ice   in our souls   and love will rise again      Break down the walls   inside our hearts   and let us be united   Break up the ice   in our souls   and love will rise again      Break it down, break it down break it down   Break it down, break it down break it down
