From the recording Love is the Bridge
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
A bridge can appear in an instant
When a tree falls down just right
A longer bridge can take years to build
The Golden Gate wasn’t spanned overnight
Bridges connect what used to be far apart
Love is a bridge from heart to heart
But what good is a bridge, though it be long and wide
Unless I greet my brother on the other side?
Love Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
Love Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
Love can be a bridge between you and anyone
Love is a thread that knits two into one
Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
(Verse 2)
More than an emotion, love is action
The kindness we do in the world
Say "Good morning" as an act of love
A smile is worth more than pearls
Whenever I give, I weave cords of love
That bind me to my friend, and to the One above
Love is what you do, not just in your head
Make it fresh every day, like a new loaf of bread
Spread your love wide like the shining sun
Brighten up the world for everyone
Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
(Verse 3)
Love with all of your heart, with your entire soul
Love with everything you’ve got
Set these words on your heart so they don’t get cold
Show love in little ways, and show it a lot
Love as you sit, and love when you walk
Teach a way to love whenever you talk
Sing your love at dawn; repeat it every night
See the One in one another—and unite
Love links you to the eternal Source
Got to feed that love every day, of course
Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
(Verse 4)
You can love Justice and Truth, or you could love to draw
You can be like Ruth, and love your mother-in-law
You can love to dance, or to sit by the wall
But if you don’t love yourself, you can’t love nothing at all
You can love to be right, or love to be kind
But if you love to hate, you know that’s not a good sign
‘Cause when you love an idea, you make it part of yourself
So if it isn’t worthy, toss it back on the shelf
Love Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
Love Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
Love is a bridge to your ideal
Love gives you the power to make it real
Love Love Love Love
Is the bridge between you and everything
