BUILDING BRIDGES
(J Christie)

Too many differences, too many promises
Too many arguments that cause too many fights and wars
We are responsible for what we do and say
Maybe a better future starts today

You're looking at me, I'm looking at you
And neither one of us knows just what we can do
I can't believe there's no way out for us
Not after all the things that we've been through

But if we start building bridges, we can cross that great divide
To surrender our defenses, put away our wounded pride
And it's only building bridges, yeah it's only building bridges, that can save us from ourselves

It's black and white for you, it's grey for me
In the land of the deaf and the dumb and blind any fool can see
We only see what we all want to see
We only hear what we all want to hear

Nowhere to run, no place to go
Frozen like statues, we are sculpted in stone
What will we do when there is no one left to blame
To lose it all would just be so insane

But if we start building bridges, we can cross that great divide
To surrender our defenses, put away our wounded pride
And it's only building bridges, yeah it's only building bridges, that can save us from ourselves
Well, it's only building bridges, yes it's only building bridges, that can save us from ourselves.
