My mama told me when I was younger
~#**************#~
“You better speak up, dont be a number
~#**************#~
My daddy told me when there was thunder
~#**************#~
“Go be the lightnin, dont run for cover”
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Whos gonna help the helpless?
~#**************#~
Sometimes were all alone
~#**************#~
These days were all just lookin for a place that we call home
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now, we cant climb over and you cant go round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, well tear them down
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges and tear down walls
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the mountains that we climb
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the great divide
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges, tear down walls
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
The space between us is gettin wider
~#**************#~
We need the spark to light the fire
~#**************#~
Show me the promise, give me some feelin
~#**************#~
Theres too much hurtin, we need some healin
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Whos gonna help the helpless?
~#**************#~
Sometimes were all alone
~#**************#~
These days were one step closer to that place that we call home
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now, we cant climb over and you cant go round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, well tear them down
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges and tear down walls
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the mountains that we climb
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the great divide
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges, tear down (These walls) walls
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
I remember when the world was smaller
~#**************#~
And we both felt ten feet taller
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now, we cant climb over and you cant go round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, well tear them down
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges and tear down walls
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the mountains that we climb
~#**************#~
These walls
~#**************#~
Are the great divide
~#**************#~
Brick by brick, gonna watch them fall (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Build more bridges, tear down (These walls) walls
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) Tear down (These walls) walls
~#**************#~
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) (These walls)
~#**************#~
(Oh-oh) Tear down walls
