Let’s Build Bridges is a stirring anthem championing global unity, empathy, and a shared humanity. The lyrics urge us to tear down walls of division, ignorance, and hate, replacing them with bridges of hope for future generations. It’s a powerful call for ordinary folk to join hands under the same rising sun.

Let’s Build Bridges lyrics
I’ve been to different lands with different names
And I found there that everyone is the same
People are people wherever you go
They wanna be happy and see their children grow
Let’s build bridges for our children to cross
It really doesn’t matter what the cost
Come-on let’s help build that bridge of hope
That will bring together ordinary folk
Let’s build bridges and join our hands
So that everyone around the world will understand
Let’s knock down walls that stand wide and tall
So that ignorance and hate will eventually fall
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Walls keep you in and keep you out
That’s why they are built what they are all about
I’d much rather build a bridge than a wall
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
We’ll cross that bridge to the other side
We’ll join our hands and nothing will divide
There’s always hope that we’ll be as one
After all we all see the same rising sun
Let’s build bridges for our children to cross
It really doesn’t matter what the cost
Let’s knock down walls that stand wide and tall
So that ignorance and hate will eventually fall
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Walls keep you in and keep you out
That’s why they are built what they are all about
I’d much rather build a bridge than a wall
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
Peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
Peace and happiness to one and all
