Building The Bridge

Father to sonhusband to wife

 Brother to brotherblack man to white

 Living togetherfalling apart

 Looking for [bad word] ground in every human heart

 It [bad word] 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 justicecities filled with pride

 mountain of hopejust on the other side

 Across a river of indifferenceand a valley of despair

 There’s a tower of couragepiercing through the air

 I have a dream for our childrenI 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 [bad word] and kind

 We are building the bridge
