I can get there on my own You can leave me here alone I'm just tryin' to do what's right Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight I could never point you out Waste of space in a faceless crowd Tell me what I have to say If you know what's right then you'll walk away When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down One by one I'm seein' them fall Some just don't show up at all I'm just here to fight the fire Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire And the walls come down And the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away A Western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away Western girl with Eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way
