Lyrics
Wa-oh! Yeah!

Stop, Hiding out in the shadows Scared to show the world you exist Don't, Lock yourself in the darkness The world is so much brighter than this

Yeah, if you never take a shot You're never gonna win So turn it all around

And break down the walls, whoa Don't be afraid to let them fall Break down the walls Whoa And you can dare to have it all Come on and give it everything you can Take a chance, make a stand and break, break, break down the walls B-b-b-break down the walls, yeah

Change You can fight it inside Then don't have the strength that it takes Oh and truth

You can twist and resist it Or finally look it straight in the face 'Cause if you never take a shock, you're never gonna win So find a way somehow

To break down the walls, whoa Don't be afraid to let them fall Break down the walls, whoa And you can dare to have it all Come on and give it everything you can Take a chance, make a stand and break, break, break down the walls

Go on and watch them tumble down Feel all the doubt Just crumble out And let the light come pouring in

Just break down the walls, whoa Don't be afraid to let them fall Break down the walls, whoa And you can dare to have it all Come on and give it everything you can Take a chance, make a stand, and break, break, break down the walls, whoa Break down the walls, whoa Break down the walls, whoa Come on and take a chance, make a stand and break, break, break down the walls!
