Mavis Staples - Build A Bridge lyrics

I’m tired of us living so lonely I think I know what to do Gonna build a bridge right over the mountain I will walk right over to you Look around at our city Look at us out on the street Got kids looking over their shoulder People looking down at their feet I’m tired of us living so lonely I hope I know what to do Gonna build a bridge right over the ocean I’m coming right over for you When I say my life matters You can say yours does too But I bet you never have to remind anyone To look at it from your point of view Gotta build a bridge right over the mountain Gotta build it right over the sea Gonna build a bridge right over the ocean So you can walk right over to me Look around at our country At the people that we don’t ever see Standing side by side us divided Lonely in the land of the free I’m pull the shades off from my window I’m gonna let the sunlight in I’m gonna open my heart to a strange I think I know where to begin I’m gonna build a bridge right over the mountain I think I know what to do Gonna build a bridge right over the ocean I’m gonna walk right over to you I’m gonna walk right over to you I’m gonna walk right over to you I’m gonna walk right over to you I’m gonna walk right over to you
