"When A Wall Is Ready To Come Down" lyrics

Well, 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
In their uniforms they were itchin', their trigger finger twitchin'
When that wall was holdin' sway
But who can say when a wall is ready to come down?

I have seen walls that have seemed so tall
Once so tall, they seemed would never fall
Why were their faces so severe, why was that strange wall ever here?
How could they stand this day today?
But you can't say when a wall is ready to come down

When that wall was in its day
Woah, ready to come down

I have seen walls that seemed so tall
I have seen walls they said would never fall
And at them [?] summer parties
All the local smarties said, "That wall would never go"
But they didn't know that wall was ready to come down

When that wall, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ready to come down
