Who Can Say When a Wall Is Ready to Come Down

Lyrics

???[[Talking in French]]

The soldiers in their tower
Would look at you and glower
When that wall was in its day
But you can't say when a wall is ready to come down

So non communicating
So non negotiating
When that wall was in its day
But you can't say when a wall is ready to come down

Sometimes a wall feels like it's forever
Well don't they?
But they don't last so long
They're not so strong
After all

Why are those faces so severe?
Why is that strange wall ever here?
Why was it not I put into play???
But who can say when a wall is ready to come down?

O so strange, so frustrating
And you find yourself just waiting
When that wall was holding sway
But who can say when a wall is ready to come down?
