This song is all about the need to take down all the artificial walls that separate people from people, whether they're racial, religious, tribal, national.... And to those from among us who manage to constructively break through the walls, I tip my hat...

Words by Bob Ryan
Music by Bob Ryan & Mike Ward (C)1999
In my mind I see the world
Its turning around and around
Up from the ground
The corner hides the scene
But I still crave the sounds of peace
Of the souls that
break through the walls
Voices raised on high
Melt the hearts of winter
We run, we hide –
we close out the light
But eyes will see, ears will hear
Peace in it’s might!
So it’s a waste of time
to hold on too long to the dust
In my heart I feel the change
Its rolling up the old for the new
The forest hides the trees
But I can feel the rhythm of Peace
Through the Walls
