Take Down These Walls

Music and lyrics by Brian Tate (C) 2017 SOCAN

Take down these walls that divide us. Take down these walls so deep inside us. With all your heart and soul
reach out and make us whole.
When all resistance falls,
take down these walls.

Take out this pain that surrounds us Take out this strain that so confounds us. Let every battle cease.
Gift us with joy and peace.
When struggle fades and falls,
take down these walls.

Can you hear us saying,
shouting, praying,
Rise up together when the heart calls, take down,
break down,
take down these walls.

We will never stand to be divided.
We will never spread the word of hate and fear. Always taking care of one another,
Wond’rous love is here.

Take down these walls that divide us Take down these walls so deep inside us with all your heart and soul
reach out and make us whole.

Can you hear us saying,
shouting, praying,
Rise up together when the heart calls, take down,
break down,
take down,
break down, (etc.)
take down these walls
