Bridges - CeeLo Green

I will build a bridge

Over the troubled water for you

The one that was here

Was weak and weary

Time had torn it down

Started little by little

We can meet right in the middle

We laugh about it later

But it’s time for it now

Soon as all the work is done

Get old hands in harmony

Sit and talk and share the sun

I know that you can feel it

But it’s gonna take a feeling

It’s gonna get a little easier

Ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier

ohhhh, it’s gonna get a little easier

A little easier for you to understand

I want to build the bridges

So that when the elders hear it

It reminds us of that spirit

That makes us all the same

Don’t give up on your children

Because of human nature

We’ve got virtue, we’ve got vices

What you’ve done is not in vain

It don’t matter how long it’s been

Turn back the music on

I want to dance with my father again

I know that you can feel it

But it’s gonna take a feeling

I want to build a bridge

Between every sister and brother

Father and mother, friend and lover

Black, white and other, love one another

I dare you to just do it

It’s the only way to prove it

If I promise to take the first step

Will you take the other?

Don’t you want to be certain of?

Don’t you want to know you’re free?

You can come together over me

I know that you can feel it

But it’s gonna take a feeling
