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
