Bridge of Hope

I want believe

That my prayers are being heard

Lately it seems

They have all been wasted words

How many prayers will it take

How many tears must we cry

Till we can walk across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

I know we could change

The sadness into smiles

If we could all see the world

Through the eyes of a child

How many prayers will it take

How many tears must we cry

Till we can walk across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

If everybody has the same thoughts

And everybody shares the same dream

Can't we get together

And make this world a better place

I had a dream

All our hatred turned into love

And every river of tears

Dried up into dust

Every woman and man

Standing side by side

Then we walked across that bridge of hope

To peace on the other side

Can we talk across that bridge of hope

And find peace

Sweet peace

On the other side
