Lyrics

School yard bullies, unkind words
Taught me the art of repartee
Failed romances, blown second chances
Taught me things I shouldn't say

I've got a woman that loves me true
I've got a God that conquers fears
I've learned some things about compromise
Been married over 27 years… She told me to

Tear down the walls
Love turns this world around
The words you hide behind
Keep us from common ground
Tear down the walls

See them people on the corner
Staring down talking with their thumbs
Social grace out the window
No filters, they're just numb

See politics that polarize
See the media that lies
Is it any wonder why we're staring 'cross
Such a great divide….We got to

Tear down the walls
Love turns this world around
The words we hide behind
Keep us from common ground….we got to
Tear down the walls

Why's it so hard to let your guard down
Even when you got nothing to lose
It'd be so easy just to walk away
It's a good thing stubborn works both ways

Now they want to build a wall between us and Mexico
To protect jobs nobody wants anyway
Somebody please tell me how we can pour love across
A wall that's almost thirty feet high….We got to

Tear down the walls
Love turns this world around
The words we hide behind
Keep us from common ground….we got to
Tear down the walls
