Lyrics:
We all have two eyes, do we see the same things?
We all have two ears, do we hear the songs the other sings?
Sit down at the table and share a meal with me
Let us raise a cup to how things will be
CHORUS
Build that bridge with elbow grease and the words we pray
Build that bridge. It ain't easy ... do it anyway
Build that bridge. Gonna work all night 'til the morning comes
Build that bridge. And keep on building 'til the work is done.
We all have our problems, there's enough to go around.
How do we solve them? Got to find the common ground.
When we stay in our dark corners we invite cold and fear.
The glow of peace is warmer. Let's meet in the middle, hope is here.
CHORUS
Build that bridge-with our spirit and faith the foundation
Build that bridge-are we humble enough to forgive?
Build that bridge-for the sake of the next generation.
Build that bridge, build that bridge, build that bridge.
