Life is an empty void, it can leave you bitter and afraid
These people around you doing nothing to ease the pain
When I was young I'd wish upon the stars above for this world to change
To mend the bonds of this divided nation,
But how do you fix a heart that started off breaking


So hear me now, while I still have a voice to share
So help us now, while we can still be saved


Hearts are tearing , tears are falling, walls are breaking down
So come together now, while we still have each other here
Love each other now, while you still have hearts to give
Hearts are tearing, tears are falling , walls are breaking down


To mend the bonds of our divided nation
To heal the heart that was always breaking
To reach out to another, while we still have each other
To keep these walls from breaking down


When I was young I'd wish upon the stars above for this world to change
So hear me now, while you still can lend an ear
So help me now, while you can still give me a hand


Together we rise, divided we fall, we need each other, God help us all
Together we rise, divided we fall, so unite together to save us all
We are all equals, we are the same, why do we hurt each other, just to cause pain
I need you, and you need me, why do we care about race or sexuality
Dear sisters and brothers that's all we are, we need to stand proud we need to stand tall
Together we rise, divided we fall, let's love each other for who we are


To mend the bonds of this divided nation
To heal the heart that started off breaking
To love each other while we still have one another
To keep these old walls from breaking down


So heal me now, while I can still be healed
So save me now while I can still be saved


We need to heal this nation, stop these hearts from breaking,
Stop these walls from crashing down




This heart that's breaking can never stop
Unless we Unite to fight the pain
Stop fighting each other, hurting one another, instead help the ones who ache


Don't divide the nation, unite this nation, to heal its heart that breaks
Because you could be hurting, don't inflict pain, help the ones who ache


Life is an empty void, it can leave you bitter and afraid
These people around you doing nothing to ease the pain


When I was young I'd wish upon the stars for this world to change
To mend the bonds of this divided nation,
But how do you fix a heart that started off breaking


So hear me now, while I still have a voice to share
So help us now, while we can still be saved


Hearts are tearing , tears are falling, walls are breaking down
Hearts are tearing, tears are falling, walls are breaking down


Hearts breaking
People crying

And the walls come crashing down
These walls come crashing down
