Been watching you, listening to your velvet words,
Funny how a little spark starts a fire,
Seems like you've forgotten that we were brothers in the fight,
Like a pup at your heels I wanna know what's come between us.

It's a barrier, (barrier)
A wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion,
A barrier, (barrier)
You throw me a crust when I'm starving for a meal,
A barrier, (barrier)
I think I know you but I come away wondering if we could only find a way to step across that line and break the barrier.

Yeah, you told me, "Don't wanna feel the labor pains, just wanna see the child and keep on walking,"
But you're in this too,
Somehow I gotta get to you,
All the jazzin' is fine,
Can't we just cut it to the bone'

And break the barrier, (barrier)
This wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion,
A barrier, (barrier)
Shaking my head as I hang up the phone,
Barrier, (barrier)
I think I know you but I come away wondering if we could only find a way to step across that line.

A touch of fear and a preconceived notion,
Really don't mean to accuse you,
Can't talk that way 'cause it's not in style,
Just wanna reach you,
A cloud of semantics is a sky of options,
Don't you think I know your joy and I feel your pain'
To go ten feet gotta walk a mile,
'Cause I love you I wanna get it right.

Break the barrier, (barrier)
A wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion,
A barrier, (barrier)
Together we could turn it into a door,
A barrier, (barrier)
I think I know you well enough to say, "Together we can find a way to step across that line."
Yow,

Break the barrier, (barrier)
And break the barrier, (barrier)
Break the barrier, (barrier)
Oh, break the barrier.
