lyrics
You’ll soon know how life gets away, life gets away
It rings out through the fog of the day, the fog of the day
To someone who feels as though they could love again someday
To let it in through your heart will always feel strange
Ch:
But when you wake you feel the wall is coming down
The wall is coming down
It’s hard to break on through but the wall is coming down
The wall is coming down
I thought you would never let her in, never let her in
But I’m proud you feel that you can, feel now that you can
It’s only when you’re content with who you are
That you can carry two
To let her in, to your heart, becomes easy to do
Ch.
Bridge:
When you go out to find yourself
Make sure you don't get lost along the way
You’ve defined what you want in yourself
So keep it clear and remember yesterday
Ch.

It’s hard to break on through but the wall is coming down
The wall is coming down
