Bridges Not Walls

[Verse] In the shadow of the steeple, down a worn and weary road, Where the lines are drawn so deep and the winds of anger blow. In the heart of every struggle, in the depth of every fear, There’s a whisper, a call for us, to draw near. [Chorus] Let’s build bridges, not walls, let love answer the call. Hand to hand, heart to heart, till the barriers fall. Where there’s hope, there’s a way, even through the darkest days, We’re stronger together, let’s live that way. [Verse] Through the city, through the valley, across the river wide and deep, Where a mother prays her lonely prayers, where the lost and lonely weep. Every hand that’s held out, is a victory, a start, A step toward healing, and a joining of hearts. [Bridge] There's no storm too fierce, and there's no night too long, Hand in hand, together, we're mighty and strong. [Verse] Underneath the same big sky, on the same solid ground, We share our dreams and fears alike, where common hope is found. Let’s lay down all our burdens, and let our old grudges part, In the light of understanding, let’s give peace a start. Let’s build bridges, not walls, let love answer the call. Hand to hand, heart to heart, till the barriers fall. Where there’s hope, there’s a way, even through the darkest days, We’re stronger together, let’s live that way. Yeah, we're stronger all together, let's live that way. [Outro]
