Barbra Streisand - Walls lyrics
[Barbra Streisand - Walls lyrics]
They keep you out, they keep you in
Walls narrow and wide
Round the square with warning
Signs "Watch out", "Beware"
Brick by brick they built them
But it seems to me
Brick by brick they built them
Where they shouldn't be
We should be building bridges to a better day
Where no walls would stand in the way
Walls here and there, everywhere
In every city
Every town we would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
Brick by brick at times they're
Of a different kind
Brick by brick they built around
The heart and mind
Sometimes lasting longer than the walls
That are made of stone
Keeping us apart and alone
These are walls that we don't see
But we built between the you and me
Made of broken dreams and wounded
Feelings that go on
Like walls we wish to go away
Could we have ourselves that better day
If we took the chance to
Simply say that we forgive
And then we forget they'd be gone
Oh walls here and there, everywhere
In every city
Every town we would have that better day
If all the walls came tumbling down
