She Builds A Bridge
Between now and then
With the beauty that she sees
She marks the steps with gratitude
She walks the path with ease
She Builds a Bridge you cannot see
And differences subside
As she goes forth
And carries on
Her duties she can’t hide
She Builds a Bridge of Unity
She Builds to pastures new
Of loving hearts, compassion lands
Of kind men through and through
She Builds a Bridge
Where all is bent
On making good the life
That we are given
Here on earth
Without war or strife
She Builds a Bridge
‘Tween Old and New
Of stale, old-fashioned rules
She starts afresh
She starts again
Love is the only goal
She Builds a Bridge
To help the poor
Get to the other side
Where abundant living is the norm
Where greed has found it’s ridden
She Builds a Bridge
For those who cannot
See a bridge at all
She Builds it wide
She Builds it bright
She Builds it for them all
She Builds a bridge
Between right and wrong
For that is all that matters
To those who see her handy-work
And lend muscle to the vision
She Builds a Bridge
She Takes One Brick
And makes it beautiful
She places it
Inside her heart
Ready?
Will you help build it?
