Bridges
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 (breaking glass)
Guns and armour (guns and armour)
Tears and gas (tears and gas)
If smoke is all we see
How're we supposed to breathe?
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
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
I know you're scared (I know you're scared)
And so am I (so am I)
But that don't mean (that don't mean)
We shouldn't try (we shouldn't try)
It ain't just black or white
It's down to wrong or right
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
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
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
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
And in between this great divide
There's fire in the streets
People on their knees
Holding Bibles and breaking glass (breaking glass)
Guns and armour (guns and armour)
Tears and gas (tears and gas)
If smoke is all we see
How're we supposed to breathe?
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
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
I know you're scared (I know you're scared)
And so am I (so am I)
But that don't mean (that don't mean)
We shouldn't try (we shouldn't try)

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
