Title Build Bridges
 
Description Build Bridges

Build bridges though life’s ways are tough.
Toil whilst skies of darkest hue
rain down on all your dreams and hopes.
Build - till the sun shines through.

Build until fear melts away
and former enemies hand in hand
together can seek a better future
in a rebuilt, far better land.

Build a new understanding of
all those who have been misunderstood
so they can face a new tomorrow
build bridges for the good.

For all our dreams are futile
if we can’t live in peace
And hold hands across life’s bridges
Bringing tortured souls relief.

Build bridges.
