| Father to son, husband to wife |
| Brother to brother, black man to white |
| Living together, falling apart |
| Looking for the common ground in every human heart |
| It all comes down to the two of us |
| Yeah this is where we start |
| We are building the bridge |
| One small stone at a time |
| With a lot of love |
| And some help from above |
| From your heart to mine |
| There’s a land of justice, cities filled with pride |
| A mountain of hope, just on the other side |
| Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair |
| There’s a tower of courage, piercing through the air |
| I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there |
| And we are building the bridge |
| One small stone at a time |
| With a lot of love |
| And some help from above |
| From your heart to mine |
| As we seek out understanding |
| As we learn to forgive |
| When we open up our minds |
| When our words are true and kind |
| We are building the bridge |
