I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread I had to eat
I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinkin'
Let me show you what love means

Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time

I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man
I would give my heart's desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me

Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time

(Instrumental Break)

When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do anything (Anything)
Anything (Anything)
Keep believin' in the power
(Love can build a bridge)
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time
Don't you think it's time

Yeah, yes I do
(Oh, love can build a bridge)
Oh, love and only love
(Between your heart and mine)
Between your heart and mine
(Love can build a bridge)
Love and only love
Don't you think it's time
Oh, don't you think it's time

Don't you think it's time
Love and only love
Love and only love
