What happened to the dream we knew
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 weeping eyes
Let's build a bridge-tear down the walls
Goin' up-climbin' higher and higher
Let's build a bridge-take us across
Hand in hand-climbin' 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 chain
There is a way if we'll take it
Let's build a bridge-tear down the walls
Goin' up-climbin' higher and higher
Let's build a bridge-take us across
Hand in hand-climbin' higher and higher
We're gonna build a bridge
We can build a bridge
We can we can build a bridge
Build a bridge
