Tear down the walls we’ve put up,
So that we’re then able to see behind,
All of what our walls bricks had blocked from viewing,
Those walls covered with thorns and many tangled vines.

We may not even know it,
That our walls were being built,
But brick by brick they formed their barriers,
Where even …some of the walls put up did tilt.

Mortar of ones own tears and sweat,
Of all our life’s hurt and pain,
Not realizing that you’ve built any at all,
Yet we all must in one agree…
Let’s go and let what we’ve built now fall!
