about

A gospel-style choir joins in on this rousing bilingual Spanish-English chant originally written by Harmony Grisman. The arrangement invites participation as it breaks down the walls between people.

lyrics

Break 'em on down; Break 'em on down.
Break 'em on down, these walls between us.

(Repeat first two lines)

Break 'em on down;
break 'em on down these walls between us.
Break 'em on down;
Break 'em on down, these walls, these walls, these walls between us!

Tumba las, tumba las, tumba las paderdes entre nosotros.
(Repeat)

Tumba las, tumba las pederdes entre nosotros.
Tumba las, tumba las paderdes, paderdes, paderdes entre nosotros.
