Father to sonhusband to wife
Brother to brotherblack man to white
Living togetherfalling 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 justicecities filled with pride
A 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 true and kind
We are building the bridge
