We've got a problem we can't get around
It's gotten too big to just tear down
We built a wall out of thin air
Now I'm over here and you're over there

I'm afraid that there's no two ways to it
This wall could be our undoing
Can't raise the ceiling, can't lower the floor
Only thing left is to build a door

A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall
Might fall
You get a hammer and I'll get a saw
And we'll give this wall what-for
What we need between you and me is a door

We might get sweaty, might get dirty
A couple of splinters would be well worth it
We'll hang it right here, level and plumb
And then we'll shake hands on a job well done

Once that door's standing open
We'll get some communication going
We'll reach out, and the next thing we know
This wall'll come down like Jericho

A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall
Might fall
You get a hammer and I'll get a saw
And we'll give this wall what-for
What we need between you and me is a door

A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work, and a ladder stretched that tall
Might fall
You get a hammer and I'll get a saw
And we'll give this wall what-for
What we need between you and me is a door
