Bridges

[Verse 1]

You're on your side and I'm on mine

And in between this great divide

There's fire in the streets

People on their knees

Holding Bibles and breaking glass

Guns and armor, tears and gas

If smoke is all we see

How we supposed to breathe?

[Chorus]

What if we took these stones we've been throwin'?

What if we laid 'em down?

What if we forget all that we know and

Make some common ground?

What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?

What if that space between changed, if we started building

Bridges, bridges, bridges?

[Verse 2]

I know you're scared and so am I

But that don't mean we shouldn't try

It ain't just black or white

It's down to wrong or right

[Chorus]

What if we took these stones we've been throwin'?

What if we laid 'em down?

What if we forget all that we know and

Make some common ground?

What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?

What if that space between changed, if we started building

Bridges, bridges, bridges?

[Bridge]

We're gonna need more than prayers and wishes

To build those bridges, bridges, bridges

It's gonna take way more work to fix it

Gotta build those bridges, bridges, bridges

[Chorus]

We gotta take these stones we've been throwin'

We gotta lay them down

We gotta forget all that we know and

Make some common ground

What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?

What if that space between changed, if we started building

Bridges, bridges, bridges

Bridges, bridges, bridges

Gonna build those bridges, bridges, bridges

Bridges, bridges, bridges
