Build A Bridge Lyrics - Mavis Staples

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 

Photos 

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
