Lyrics
Tear them down one by one
All the walls that divide us
We won't quit til the work is done
And love and peace unite us
And love and peace unite us
To the tyrants of the world
Who sound the battle cry
Your time is short, you cannot win
No matter how you try
Blind with mad ambition
With people bound in chains
Laying waste to all you see
Like sheep you've gone astray
And so we lift our voices
In loud and sweet accord
We say love and peace and brotherhood
Is what we're all here for
So look down deep inside your heart
And turn yourselves around
You can wash away what's in your past
And look to higher ground
Oh oh oh oh
Tear them down one by one
All the walls that divide us
We won't quit til the work is done
And love and peace unite us
And love and peace unite us
David fought Goliath
Joshua fought in Jericho
And Samson fought the Philistines
What secret did they know?
It's the truth that pierced the walls
And sent them tumbling to the ground
It was the truth that smote the Philistines
And drive the lion down
Love is the armour
And faith is the shield
And we'll hold the sword of righteousness
Until our [unclear] yields
And blazoned on the banner,
All to see
It say, "You shall know the truth
"And the truth shall make you free!"
Oh oh oh oh
Tear them down one by one
All the walls that divide us
We won't quit til the work is done
And love and peace unite us
And love and peace unite us
Tear them down one by one
All the walls that divide us
We won't quit til the work is done
And love and peace unite us
And love and peace unite us
