[Verse 1]
My mama told me when I was younger
"You better speak up, don't be a number
My daddy told me when there was thunder
"Go be the lightnin', don't run for cover"

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna help the helpless?
Sometimes we're all alone
These days we're all just lookin' for a place that we call home

[Chorus]
Now, we can't climb over and you can't go 'round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, we'll 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'
There's too much hurtin', we need some healin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna help the helpless?
Sometimes we're all alone
These days we're one step closer to that place that we call home

[Chorus]
Now, we can't climb over and you can't go 'round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, we'll 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 can't climb over and you can't go 'round (Woah-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh) Build them up, we'll 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
