Lyrics
[Intro]
A gentle sigh, the weight of days, places where we are, it's hard to see
[Verse 1]
The papers on the table say the world's about to break,
Neighbors shout across the fence like love was some mistake.
Every channel tells a story full of anger, fear, and blame,
And nobody remembers how we all got here the same.
[Verse 2]
Children ask their mothers, "Why's everybody mad?"
Fathers shake their heads remembering the better days we had.
But somewhere in the distance, like a bell across the town,
There's a quiet voice reminding us we don't have to burn it down.
[Chorus]
Raise your voice, don't give up now,
Hope is stronger than the night.
When the road is dark before us,
We can still walk toward the light.
[Chorus Repeats]
Sing it loud across the valley,
Let the broken hearts all hear:
Love can build a bridge tomorrow
If we start right here.
[Bridge]
When the choir comes in, this is where the orchestra swells.
Maybe mercy's just a spark
Waiting in the human heart,
Maybe grace is just the courage
To forgive.
[Bridge Continued]
Release that weight, let it go, feel the rhythm pulse and flow,
Join the song, look around and know we're never far apart.
Hope and love can intertwine, reach across the great divide,
So let's open up our hearts, let them speak as one tonight.
[Chorus]
Raise your voice, don't give up now,
Hope is stronger than the night.
When the road is dark before us,
We can still walk toward the light.
[Outro]
Sing it loud across the valley,
Let the broken hearts all hear:
Love can build a bridge tomorrow
If we start right here.
