So you live in a castle, surrounded, defended Afraid what's outside might hurt you You say you've learned, were burned When your whole life upended And now nobody's gonna get near you Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light shine through Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light get to you Well we all have castles That we keep defending We all have the locks and hide the keys To keep out the truth, the real and unwanted That we know but don't want to see Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light shine through Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light get to you Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light shine through Oh, tear down the wall Let a little bit of light get to you
