We've got to burn down the walls
we got to
we got to
we got to
burn em down

Burn down the walls that trap us inside
Free Your Mind
and then Free Your Body

The walls were built for us by our founding fathers
to separate the mind from the body
to keep us small
to better break us
and make us
afraid

but we're not going to take it anymore
come on now

We've got to burn down the walls
we got to
we got to
we got to
burn em down

Burn them till they don't stand anymore
Burn Them to the ground
Burn Down the Walls

Freedom is just around the corner
We can still be free
If we all come together and
set our minds and bodies free

We've got to burn down the walls
we got to
we got to
burn em down

Freedom is just around the corner
Burn Em' Down
Freedom Is Just a Blow Away
Burn Em' Down
Freedom Is Here
Burn
Burn
Burn Em down
Burn Down The Walls

The author's comments:
my basic problem with this piece is that I like it but I don't think it makes any sense. So of course the question is: Does it have to make any sense?

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.
