Build A Bridge

Lyric: Tim Koerber & Kevin Reardon; Music: Kevin Reardon; Copyright 2020

Chorus
We can build a bridge if we let love lead us; lead us with an open heart
We can build a bridge if we let love free us; free us to be who we are

Verse
He always dreamed of having children; bring them up with the love of his life
But some are still blind to adopting a child by a man with a man as his wife

She runs the shelter at church; does all that she can; asks no questions of those who come in
They’re God’s children to her but when she leaves her work; she’s still judged by the shade of her skin

Chorus
We can build a bridge if we let love lead us; lead us with an open heart
We can build a bridge if we let love free us; free us to be who we are

Verse
His hair is now short; his body has changed; most times he’s caught between worlds
He just wants a chance to be his own man, even though he was born as a girl

She was the first in her immigrant family to finish college and buy her own place
When she moved in her home on the door someone wrote, ‘don’t want your kind here, go away’

Chorus
We can build a bridge if we let love lead us; lead us with an open heart
We can build a bridge if we let love free us; free us to be who we are

Bridge
Love is the key to let each live their life
There’s strength in our difference when we stand side by side

Chorus
We can build a bridge if we let love lead us; lead us with an open heart
We can build it if we let love free us; free us to be who we are
We can build a bridge if we let love lead us; lead us with an open heart
We can build a bridge if we let love free us; free us to be who we are
