BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS

Lyrics by: Emmanuel
Music by: Joash, BAS

Verse 1
(Em7)My Daddy was a man with a mission,
And my (A)Mama schooled me (G)from the age of (Em7)three
(Em7)That faith in God was more than a superstition
And there's a (A)place to serve Him (G)in His Fami(Em7)ly. (D)-(A)-(G)
(Em7)Here we are from the very same generation,
Though our (A)lives have been as (G)different as can (Em7)be.
(Em7)Together He's making us into a brand new nation.
Yeah, we've all (A)got just one (G)nationali(Em7)ty.

Chorus 1
And it's a (A)shame when we (G)frown and look (C)down
When (D)we really (B7)oughtta be (A)
Breakin' down the (Em)walls,(C)-(D)
Breakin' down the (Em)walls,(C)-(D)
Having a ball,(C)-(D)
Oooh, breakin' down the walls.(Em7)-(B)

Verse 2
(Em7)I was taught to chase material ambition,
Live (A)only for the (G)things I see and (Em7)feel.
(Em7)Now I've opted for less comfortable conditions
To gain (A)something that you (G)know is much more (Em7)real.
(Em7)You may've been raised behind an Iron Curtain,
And what I took for (A)granted's been your (G)ultimate (Em7)dream.
(Em7)But why should we be divided, when for certain,
Together we can (A)be an un(G)beatable (Em7)team.

Chorus 2
The (A)hungry we'll (G)feed, we've got (C)all that we (D)need,
We've just (B)gotta be(A)
Breakin' down the (Em)walls,(C)-(D)
Havin' (Em)a ball.(C)-(D)
(Em)C'mon now, hand in hand, (C)united we stand, (D)divided we (Em7)fall!
(Em7)It's all for one (C)and one (D)for all!(Em7)
