From here to there.

Worlds different as night and day,

Unity and accord seems far away,

How glaring is the contrast

That prevents us from finding parity?

Are the bodies of waters that divide us too vast

For us to build a bridge to conformity?

Israeli, Palestinian; aren't you both middle eastern?

Christian, Muslim; arent you both human?

We all have our beliefs-

In higher powers, notions and ideology;

But what causes most grief

Is dogma, violence and bigotry.

Lets put it all aside,

And strive for absolute unity;

bridge the gap- no matter how wide,

And reach for our common identity.



Bridges- to build, to burn, and to rebuild

The cycles of life.

Your hope of a life with me,

- was what I killed.

You wanted to be a wife

But I ain't even thinking that far.

I pride myself as a free bird,

But birds do need some place to rest-

Some good, lovely, homely kind of nest.

That’s a bridge we'll cross when we get there

If we ever get there.

Troubled waters drown the bridge,

Don’t even know where I'm going.

But that’s the thing about bridges-

Waters rise and fall-

But the bridge is always there

to take you home.
