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 gonne build a bridge

We can build a bridge

We can we can build a bridge

Build a bridge
