Love Can Build a Bridge (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm Ashley Judd Welcome to your New Year's Eve bash We've come together for a joyous and historic occasion on this An eve that actually concludes a whole millennium But for every ending, you must remember there is a new beginning Speaking of endings, I was sitting in the audience amongst you eight years ago at the Judd's farewell concert And I must say that my heart was rather broken We werе all dreadfully aware that mother could diе from her disease Uncertain of what the future held for my beloved sister And sad that the wonderful music had been silenced Since that time, I'm sure so much has happened with you and in your families And we're grateful to you that you've been with us every step of the way during our incredible journey We've been extremely blessed by mother's freedom from hepatitis C Sister's award-winning, hit-making solo career I've made a little name for myself in a town called Hollywood, but best of all Our clan has been immeasurably blessed by the addition of two beautiful babies Elijah and Grace Pauleen Over and over again throughout the world and movies and media The Judds' story of struggle, loss, triumph, and redemption has been told And while we are certainly very proud of where we've come from and what we've accomplished We'd like tonight to set our gaze to tomorrow As we cross through the threshold into the 21st century We also want to open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities of our imaginations Through the years, we've all learned a lot from mom She asks us to hang onto hope, keep our love and faith and believe in miracles Tonight is proof that miracles really do happen As beginnings go, it doesn't get any better than this It is a joy for me to present to you my mother and sister Naomi and Wynona, the Judds [Verse 1] I'd gladly walk across the desert with no shoes upon my feet To share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat I would swim out to save you in your sea of broken dreams When all your hopes are sinkin', let me show you what love means [Chorus] Love can build a bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a bridge Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? [Verse 2] I would whisper love so loudly, every heart could understand That love and only love can join the tribes of man I would give my heart's desire so that you might see The first step is to realize that it all begins with you and me [Chorus] Love can build a bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a bridge Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? [Post-Chorus] Don't you think it's time? [Bridge] When we stand together It's our finest hour We can do anything (Anything), anything (Anything) Keep believin' in the power [Chorus] Love can build a bridge Between your heart and mine Love can build a bridge Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? (Yeah, yes, I do) Love can build a bridge (Woah, love and only love) Between your heart and mine (Between your heart and mine) Love can build a bridge (Love and only love) Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? [Post-Chorus] Don't you think it's time? [Outro] The power of love is very real tonight Love and only love And there is always hope Yeah Love and only love Woo Welcome, well come on into the Judd house The winds of change are blowing tonight
