Bill Staines<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThere are bridges, bridges in the sky
\nThey are shining in the sun
\nThey are stone and steel and wood and wire
\nThey can change two things to one<\/p>\n
They are languages and letters
\nThey are poetry and awe
\nThey are love and understanding
\nAnd they’re better than a wall<\/p>\n
They are languages and letters
\nThey are poetry and awe
\nThey are love and understanding
\nAnd they’re better than a wall<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nThere are canyons, there are canyons
\nThey are yawning in the night
\nThey are rank and bitter anger
\nAnd they are all devoid of light<\/p>\n
They are fear and blind suspicion
\nThey are apathy and pride
\nThey are dark and so foreboding
\nAnd they’re oh, so very wide<\/p>\n
They are fear and blind suspicion
\nThey are apathy and pride
\nThey are dark and so foreboding
\nAnd they’re oh, so very wide<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nLet us build a bridge of music
\nLet us cross it with a song
\nLet us span another canyon
\nLet us right another wrong<\/p>\n
Oh, and if someone should ask us
\nWhere we’re off and bound today
\nWe will tell them, “Building Bridges”
\nAnd be off and on our way<\/p>\n
Oh, and if someone should ask us
\nWhere we’re off and bound today
\nWe will tell them, “Building Bridges”
\nAnd be off and on our way
\nWe will tell them, “Building Bridges”
\nAnd be off and on our way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
