Bridging The Gap
(Lionel Crawford)

Bring something old to the new
Show us that dreams do come true
Show us the love that we lack
So we can try to bridge the gap
My neighbor right across the street
Imagine we don't even speak
I don't remember how it start
I only know it breaks my heart

(Chorus)
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap

Auntie has family in Boston
She admits she don't see them often
She always say they never call
But she refuse to break the wall
A man say he can't comprehend
why poor folks always want something
He thinks they want what they don't need
But he don't see the mouths to feed, oh

(Chorus)

Sometimes our leaders never show
The things we really need to know
Feeling alone and all left out
We attempt to throw them out
It's time we too must understand
A nation isn't just one man
We all have to do our best
When hard times put us to the test, oh,

(Chorus)

To all my family everywhere
I want to let them know I care
And to my Dad where he may be
It's you your grand kids want to see
The only thing That I regret
Is friends and faces I forget
I try to teach my children right
Not to give up without a fight

(Chorus)

Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap
Bridging the gap, bridging the gap

I try to tell them 'bout my youth
About my culture and the truth
I want them never to give up
The time is now to bridge the gap

Stand on up

(Chorus) x2
