What happened to the dream we new
Everybody having something to live for
Seems we've forgotten where we're going to
And all the reasons for the things we do
And we just stack another stone in place
Until the walls we're facing seem so high
Sometimes it's enough to make you cry
It's time to dry your weepin' eyesChorus 1:
Let's build a bridge, tear down the walls
Goin' up climbing higher and higher
Let's build a bridge, take us across
Hand in hand climbing higher and higher
Life gives us problems, it hands us pain
These are the stones of self-destruction
We've got the power to bring a brighter day
If we'll only help each other make a change
And let it take us to a higher place
So we can see the world for what it is
It's not impossible to break the chains
There is a way if you'll take it
Repeat Chorus 1
(Let's build a bridge, let's build a bridge)
We can build a bridge, we can build a bridge, we can, we can build a
bridge (build a bridge)
Repeat Chorus 1
Let's build a bridge (oh)
Chorus 2:
Let's build a bridge (I know we can), tear down the walls (we can build
it)
Goin' up climbing higher and higher (we)
Let's build a bridge (let's build a bridge), take us across (we can do it,
yeah)
Hand in hand climbing higher and higher (higher and higher) (higher)
Chorus 3:
Let's build a bridge, (oh) tear down the walls
Goin' up climbing higher and higher (I'm gonna' reach glory, yeah)
Let's build a bridge, take us across (oh)
Hand in hand climbing higher and higher (take me higher)
Let's build a bridge, let's build a bridge (build a bridge)
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 4:
Let's build a bridge, tear down the walls (we can tear those walls down)
Goin' up climbing higher and higher (and build a bridge)
Let's build a bridge, take us across (higher)
Hand in hand climbing higher and higher (get together and build a bridge)
Chorus 5:
Let's build a bridge (let's build a bridge), tear down the walls
Goin' up climbing higher and higher (let's build it)
Let's build a bridge (let's build a bridge), take us across
Hand in hand climbing higher and higher
Let's build a bridge, let's build a bridge, let's build a bridge, let's
build a bridge |
