Píseň: Let The Walls Come Down

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Closer To The Bone
On a cold dark corner i town
 An old soul standing his ground
 Sang his heart right out at the world
 Passing him by
 I can still hear every word
 Of a song that nobody heard
 ‘Cause he sang right out of his soul
 Into the sky, when he cried


 Let the walls come down
 Let the love come through
 When it all comes down
 Well, it’s up to you


 Talking man or woman to man
 Pray to God just as hard as you can
 Brother, help your brother in need
 Soon as you see one


 And you can’t free nobody else
 If you can’t be true to yourself
 If you’re looking for a miracle now
 Buddy, you better be one
 All alone, on your own


 Let the walls come down
 Let the love come through
 When it all comes down
 Well, it’s up to you


 Let the walls come down
 Let it all come true
 When it all comes down
 It’s up to me and you
