Lyrics
VERSE:
I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to keep things from falling through.
CHORUS:
Why can't we tear down the walls and appreciate the view,
from the eyes of a child like when everything was new?
Why can't we open our hearts and feel the gentle breeze of love,
to float like the clouds or the eagles high above?
VERSE:
She doesn't hear what I say, she doesn't know how she feels
about the notion of love...I wish she 'd see that I'm real.
CHORUS:
Why can't we tear down the walls and appreciate the view,
from the eyes of a child like when everything was new?
Why can't we open our hearts and feel the gentle breeze of love,
to float like the clouds or the eagles high above?
BRIDGE:
Walking down a street of loneliness,
hoping to find the one who cares about me
I've seen all around, the fears that betray,
the love inside that we all want to share.
CHORUS:
Why can't we tear down the walls and appreciate the view,
from the eyes of a child like when everything was new?
Why can't we open our hearts and feel the gentle breeze of love,
to float like the clouds or the eagles high above?
