[verse 1] Down (down down) Let's break down these walls We are one (one one) Divided we fall There are cultures we don't understand but we cannot be silent We need to make a stand These guarded walls are keeping us apart It's time to free our hearts
[Chorus] Would you mind if I wanted to know where can we really go? If our hearts are made of stone If we think nothing can be done Would you mind if I were to say There must be another way? than to live in captivity Can't we embrace our diversity and free our hearts from fear Let's free our hearts from fear Let's free our hearts
[verse 2] "Breathe (breathe breathe) I can't breathe" "Dream (dream dream) I have a dream" What's the life of a man worth to you? Does it matter if he's red, yellow, black or white? The same blood is running through our veins So let us break these chains
[Chorus] Would you mind if I wanted to know where can we really go? If our hearts are made of stone If we think nothing can be done Would you mind if I were to say There must be another way? than to live in captivity Can't we embrace our diversity and free our hearts from fear Let's free our hearts from fear Let's free our hearts
Some 40 years ago Pink Floyd created a rock opera about a character named Pink and his spiritual isolation from society, figuratively referred to as 'The Wall'. 'Free Our Hearts', the new song by singer-songwriter Eric Geurts strives to bring down the walls of racism in our minds and hearts. We are afraid of the unknown (other cultures) and therefore build walls of prejudice to protect ourselves. The expansive and passionate guitar solo, à la David Gilmour, is both compelling and dynamic.
Black, red, white or yellow, the same blood flows through all our veins. 'Free Our Hearts' is born out of and immersed in the spirit of the age. Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter.
