Verse 1:
  I want to believe
  that my prayers are being heard,
  but lately it seems
  they have all been wasted words.
  
  Bridge:
  How many prayers will it take,
  how many tears must we cry
  till we can walk across that bridge of hope
  to peace on the other side.
  
  Verse 2:
  I know we could change
  the sadness into smiles
  if we could all see the world
  through the eyes of a child.
  
  Bridge:....
  
  B-section:
  If everybody has the same thoughts
  and everybody shares the same dream,
  can't we get together
  and make this world a better place?
  
  Verse 3:
  I had a dream
  all our hatred turned into love
  and every river of tears
  dried up into dust,
  every woman and man
  standing side by side.
  Then we walked across that bridge of hope
  to peace on the other side.
  
  B-section:....
  
  Verse 1:......
  
  Bridge:......
  
  Can we walk across that bridge of hope
  and find peace, sweet peace
  on the other side?
