Born afraid of most everything
We close our eyes until we are sure
There's nothing to see
And the fear just goes on and on
Singled out and pushed all around
We don't even help each other up
When we're knocked down
And the hurting goes on and on
Every time we seek your face
There's a power we can't erase
Beating loud, beating strong
Beating all the walls down
Your love has a heartbeat of it's own
Hey, bring all the walls down
Bring all the walls down
Hey, bring all the walls down, hey
(bring all the walls tumblin' down)
Living like we're trapped in a shell
'cause it's just too hard to risk
Being hurt by somebody else
So the yearning goes on and on
'cause we love you
Because we need you
Only you can take hold of our hearts
And break all these chains away
