Bridge Across Our Fears (Avi's Song)

(Rob Raede)
February 18, 2010
There's a wall in Jerusalem
You can lay your hands upon
And feel two thousand years of joy and sorrow

There's a certain church in Bethlehem
It's said that here was born a man
Who spoke of love and faith in our tomorrow

There's a golden dome upon a rock
It's written here a prophet stopped
To lift his gaze and make his way to heaven

We've all got our holy ground
If only we could look around,
We might rediscover our connection

Chorus
There's a larger spirit here to guide us
Even when we're blinded by the tears
We can choose to let belief divide us, or we can
Build a bridge across our fears

V2
There's a mountain in the Sinai sand
Where they say Moses used his hands
To carry down the tablets made of stone

He's another child of Abraham
Just like us did the best he can
To keep the faith and lead his children home

Repeat Chorus

Doubt and fear just make the blaming easier
And harder still to reach the promised land

Repeat Chorus
