about

Track #4, "The Bridge", includes an excerpt from a speech delivered by US House of Representatives Congressman John Lewis at the 50th Anniversary commemoration of Bloody Sunday and the Selma to Montgomery civil rights marches.

lyrics

The Bridge

There’s a sound in the soil
Rises up in my bones
And I shudder that a man
Owns a man
…’cuz he can

When the day leaves you lost
And the world’s upside down
All you thought,
All you knew
Where is it now?

(Chorus)
Walk across the bridge
Walk across the bridge with me
Bend a little more
Come bend a little…

Hey, do your dreams buy you time?
Or do the lies keep you safe?
How much more double-double speak
Do you think you can make?

Is that Sunday meeting song
Really, really you?
Or is that love you sing about
Only meant for a few?

Chorus

Am I just standin’ in the rain
Talkin’ only to myself?
Will your heart let you come?
Hey, will your heart let you come on this trip?
Will your heart let you come on…
Tell me….how much longer?

Chorus/Ad lib
