Lyrics

Building Bridges
Frank Blades

[verse]
Too many solders; too many wars,
It's like the whole world wants to fight,
Too many poppies growing in the battlefield,
And still no resolution in sight.

[verse]
Too many politicians, too many scores,
It's like the whole world has to win,
Too many greedy people at each other's throats,
Waiting for their ship to come in.

[prechorus]
(I know) We can make a difference,
(If we/And) Stand with open arms,

[chorus]
We're building bridges - instead of walls,
Starting conversations; stop riding for a fall,
Make a stand; we're looking to the future,
Not just recycling the past.

[verse]
Too much ambition, too much excess,
It's like the whole world's on the make,
Blinkered and blind, we all ride the gravy train,
Too little give, and too much take.

[verse]
Too much poverty, and no largesse,
Like the whole world don't give a damn,
Too many victims, suffering and pain,
This cannot be the master plan.

[repeat prechorus]
[repeat chorus]

[bridge x2]
It's no mystery; This world needs visionaries,
We can all make changes; One step at a time...

[repeat chorus]
