Building The Bridge

Father to son, husband to wife

Brother to brother, black man to white

Living together, falling apart

Looking for the common ground in every human heart

It all comes down to the two of us

Yeah this is where we start

We are building the bridge

One small stone at a time

With a lot of love

And some help from above

From your heart to mine

There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride

A mountain of hope, just on the other side

Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair

There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air

I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there

And we are building the bridge

One small stone at a time

With a lot of love

And some help from above

From your heart to mine

As we seek out understanding

As we learn to forgive

When we open up our minds

When our words are true and kind

We are building the bridge
