Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Gary Osborne
Available on the album The Fox
I recall how it used to be
In my younger days
I built a wall all around my heart
To keep the pain away
I built it tall and I built it wide
I left no room for doubt
Your love still found its way inside
And couldn't get back out
I'm breaking down the barriers
Making up my mind
I'm breaking down the barriers of time
I'm taking down the barriers
And loving what I find
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
Between your love and mine
I guess you know you were not the first
You may not be the last
But you have shown me a better way
And now I'm learning fast
You gotta go where the feeling flows
I take it while it's hot
You gotta give if you wanna get
And I want all you got
Elton John - Breaking Down Barriers (Live) (04:15)

Lord, great performance esp with the orchestra. But gosh, they didn't mic the piano up at all by the sound of it...!

You don't hear what the audience heard, it's mixed differently for the recording. I agree the piano is too quiet though.

I actually like his older voice better than the 70s voice, which I thought was too tinny. The only song that I prefer 70s style is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
