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

   What we need between you and me is a door
