Start Building Bridges

Start Building Bridges – Words & Music by Susan Herndon & Hank Woji

We come here today, to talk about family

We come here today, to talk about home

Brothers and sisters, we’re in this together

We’re all seeking shelter, from the same storm

Now, some would divide us, false words and confusion

Some prey on our fears, try and lead us astray

But that’s just illusion, for we are united

We’re all seeking truth, let truth guide our way

Mother of exiles, torch held on high

A light of hope for all to see

Give us your homeless, your tired and your poor

All those, who yearn to be free

We got to start building bridges, start tearing down walls

It’s time to start building bridges, start tearing down walls

We come here today, to talk about forgiveness

We come here today, to talk about love

Brothers and sisters, we must come together

Lift up our hearts, with the light from above

Sweet lady liberty, torch held on high

A golden light for all to see

We are your homeless, your tired and your poor

Here we learn what it means to be free

We got to start building bridges start tearing down walls

It’s time to start building bridges start tearing down walls

We got to start building bridges start tearing down walls

It’s time to start building bridges and tearing down walls
