Who owns the starlight?
and who owns the trees?
Who owns the rivers?
and who's the owner of the seas?

We own the words, the love and hope
and the feel for respect
We own the tears, the smiles and joy
too many times we forget

CHORUS:
Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again

Break it down

Who owns a woman?
and who owns a child?
Who owns a coloured man?
and who's the owner of our lives?

We own the wars, the rapes and crimes
and the feel for regret
We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries
too many times we forget

Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again

We gotta break it down inside

Break the walls inside our hearts

Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again

Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again

Break it down, break it down break it down
Break it down, break it down break it down
