Isn't it crazy, we haven't spoken in years
We were the closest friends
Where did we part, when did the love disappear
We thought it'd never end
Just a causeless separation
A turn in the road of life
But now we're nothing more than strangers
Don't you think that it's time to
Let's build a bridge of love together
One stone of hope at a time
Let's span the sea that comes between us
So join your hand and heart with mine
The timing is right for our differences to cease
O Father make us one
Let's join in the fight to love all humanity
Our time has just begaun
We can use these precious moments
To tear apart dividing walls
And with those stones of separation
Build a bridge for all
Every race and every nation
United and unique
We're all just links in a chain of love
I need you, you need me
