You know I just can't fight it,
Got no more strength to hide it,
Inside my heart I hear the call,
I get tired of people-pleasing,
The same old rhyme and reason,
Is it any wonder that we fall'

Tear down the walls around me,
The time has come to make a stand, ooh yeah, oh yeah,
Open up my heart to you,
Lord, I want to live for you,
Do anything you want me to,
Gonna lay it on the line.

Ooh, send a message out,
Take it to the people everywhere,
Ooh, send a message out,
Take it to my people,
Everybody shout.

You feel the war around,
You start to run and hide because you don't know what to do, no,
You got no need to worry about the fire and fury,
The blood of Christ will cover you.

Tear down the walls around me,
The time has come to make a stand, ooh yeah, ooh yeah,
Open up my heart to you,
Lord I want to live for you,
Do anything you want me to,
Gonna lay it on the line.

Ooh, send a message out,
Take it to my people everywhere,
Ooh, send a message out,
Take it to the people,
Everybody shout.

Take it all around the world, (take it all around the world)
Take this message to the people everywhere,
Ahhhhh.

Tear down the walls around me,
The time has come to make a stand, oh yeah, ooh yeah,
Open up my heart to you,
Lord I want to live for you,
Do anything you want me to,
Gonna lay it on the line,

Ooh, send a message out,
Take it to the people everywhere,
Won't you please send a message out'
Take it to my people,
Everybody shout.

Ooh, send a message out,
T-t-take it to the people everywhere,
Won't you please send a message out'
Take it to the people,
Everybody shout it out.
Everybody shout it out.
