Build a bridge where the river flows
Build a bridge where the river flows
On the bank where the sweet gum grows
Build a bridge with your sweat and labor
Build a bridge with your sweat and labor
But when it floods like this, nothing can save her
And I want to walk to you
I want to come over the raging river
And I want to walk to you
I want to come over
Build a bridge, watch it tumble down
Build a bridge, watch it tumble down
Watch it split the heart of this tiny town
Build a bridge, watch it break apart
Build a bridge, watch it break apart
Build a bridge, watch it break your heart
