Lyrics

BUILDING BRIDGES
(Memories of Norman)
Words & Music by Lee Kweller
(Inspired by Cindy & Terri Horowitz)

I see a young man
Reading an army manual
He built a long span
That was nothing short of magical
Gravel from the Bronx
A pocket full of pride
And children there to greet him on the other side

I see a teacher
Showing you how to really learn
You know he'll reach ya
And ask for nothing in return
He'd say "know yourself"
"Show yourself
There is no place you can't go yourself"
You'll be busy...

CHORUS: BUILDING BRIDGES
From one place to the other
BUILDING BRIDGES
From one heart to another
A bright light burns in the summer night
Through gray eyes that once were blue
He was BUILDING BRIDGES
Now he's smiling down at me and you

He gave so openly
As if his kindness was a long lost art
He could fix anything
Even the pain of a broken heart
Like a fourth of July display
He lit the mountain sky
And the warmth of the gift he gave
Could dry the tears of a child
He'd say "know yourself"
"Show yourself
There is no place you can't go yourself"
You'll be busy...

BUILDING BRIDGES
From one place to the other
BUILDING BRIDGES
From one heart to another
A bright light burns in the summer night
Through gray eyes that once were blue
He was BUILDING BRIDGES
Now he's smiling down at me and you
