Tear Down the Walls Songtext
von Rick Recht

Beneath our skin, the action we take
The strength we find, the changes we make
The hand we hold to a safer place The courage to speak face to face
From our ears to our hands, to the ground where we stand
We are holy and whole, every woman and man
Being together is being alive, only together will we survive

We can tear down the walls, brick by brick, one by one
′Til our love is greater than fear, 'til we remember why we are here


We can tear down the walls, every daughter, every son
So we can build on better land, we can remember where we′ve come from
We can tear down the walls

Sometimes the stranger is someone new, sometimes the stranger is part of you
The distance we make can cause so much pain or time to turn and look again

The birth of a child, the months of the year
Through the hurt and the healing, hope reappears
Sometimes a field must burn to the ground, for fertile land to come around

Mamlechet Kohanim, a priestly nation are we
When we've been starved of our hope and our homes and our lives
We've survived on our responsibility
