The Neptunes - Bridges lyrics

[Verse 1 - Cee Lo] I will build a bridge Over the troubled water for you The one that was here Was weak and weary Time had worn it down Started little by little With your feet right in the middle We laugh about it later But it's time for it now Soon as all the work is done Both hands in harmony Sit and talk and share the sun I know that you can feel it But it's gonna take a minute [Hook] It's gonna get a little easier Oh, it's gonna get a little easier A little easier for you to understand [Verse 2 - Cee Lo] I want to build the bridges So that when the elder spirit 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 ? 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 minute [Hook] [Verse 3 - Cee Lo] 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? 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 minute [Hook]
