1
There's a picture of a wall across the TV screen
2
There are people milling 'round on either side
3
They've been waiting for the border to come tumbling down
4
Some for years and others all their lives
5
The guards receive their orders and the keys are turned
6
Rusty gates swing slowly open wide
7
And long forgotten dreams and aspirations are awoken
8
And take to foot to reach the other side
9
It's just a wall, but it's kept them in for all this time
10
Just a wall, but either side is prison
11
Keep them in or lock them out, it's very much the same
12
But now the times have changed and changing has begun
13
It's just a wall and now the wall must come undone
14
There's a fence between my next door neighbor's house and mine
15
There are two big dogs on leashes and in chains
16
There are curtains pulled and doorways closed and secrets kept
17
And iron bars on many window panes
18
And these neighbors barely manage "how you doing'?
19
And the boundaries of the houses are clearly drawn
20
But there's a thicker line that's carried in the air and no one sees it
21
And there's little can be done until it's gone
22
It's just a wall, but it's kept us in for all this time
23
Just a wall, a wall of isolation
24
Now you see it, now you don't, it's very much the same
25
But now the times have changed and changing has begun
26
It's just a wall and now the wall must come undone
27
There's a picture of a wall inside the mirror
28
A reflection of the hostages inside
29
There's a child, there's a victim, there's a fool and there's a friend
30
And the bars are reinforced with fear and pride
31
But the wall I built around this heart protected me
32
It was constructed out of innocence and pain
33
And now it's taking every ounce of strength I have to pull it down
34
But I'm determined that it won't be built again
35
It's just a wall, but it's kept me in for all this time
36
Just a wall, but its usefulness is ended
37
Change the world or change the mind, it's very much the same
38
Nothing changes 'til we're changing one by one
39
And when we do is when the walls will come undone
40
Every battle will be won
41
Every wall will come undone
