Building Bridges

Our nation is really going through some troubling times. We have become too divided. Fires in cities, burning down businesses, riots and mayhem, attack on our capitol... it all needs to stop... It's hard to get this to stop until we can curtail the division... thus this song... we all need to start coming together or we'll just grow farther apart

Building Bridges

The angels shed a tear today
As the rain falls gently down
While two sides bow in reverence
We lay another in the ground
So much love, too much division
A country ripped and torn
From one fabric, a divided Nation
Can kindness be reborn

It’s time for building bridges
Who will take the higher road
Cause when you’re building bridges
Something great inside explodes
Someone to climb that mountain,-make a brand new friend
When we start building bridges, once again

We lift our glasses high tonight
Salute a life well lived
But we break with heavy hearts
When we cannot forgive
So much joy, we remember
Like a Father to his Son
Can we love just one more neighbor
Or do we hit and run

It’s time for building bridges
Who will take the higher road
Cause when you’re building bridges
Something great inside explodes
Someone to climb that mountain,-make a brand new friend
It’s time for building bridges,
When we start building bridges
Can we start building bridges, once again

Words and music by Richard Klender

Behind the Music

I wrote this when I saw the news about President George Bush Sr. passing. I heard so many stories of how he tried to bring unity amongst people he'd meet. His personal stories were quite inspiring. We have to overcome the division in our country one person at a time. Let's love each other more... and become better neighbors...

Behind the Video

Bob Cusick edited this video together. I wrote this song the day George Bush Sr. passed so the story starts there. However, it is needed now more than ever with a country so divided.
