[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
God of earth and altar
Please hear our cry
Kings of earth, they falter
And people drift and die
Walls of gold entomb us
Scornful hearts divide
Take not Your presence from us
But take away our pride

[Chorus 1]
Let these walls come down
Let these walls come down
Every heart cry out
Let these walls come down

[Verse 2]
From all that terror teaches
From lies of tongue and pen
From all the empty speeches
That comfort foolish men
From sale and acquisition
Of people and the sword
From apathy and numbness
Deliver us, O Lord
[Chorus 1]
Let these walls come down
Let these walls come down
Every heart cry out
Let these walls come down

[Bridge]
Hear our prayer
Hear our prayer
Hear our prayer
Hear our prayer
May we call out for the voiceless
May we sit with them and weep
May we plead for them in silence
Plead for their relief

[Chorus 2]
Walls come down
Walls come down
Let the walls come down
Let the walls come down
Let these walls come down
Let these walls come down
Every heart cry out
Let these walls come down
