You used to be so afraid

That you wouldn't know what to say

That the words would come out wrong

You just wanted to belong

But if you spend a little time building your bridges

You might find you have a lot to say

Spend a little time trying hard to listen

Spend a little time

'Cause there's more to connect

What's inside us

Than what you'd expect

(It's) not gonna divide us

Give it a try

You just assumed, you thought you knew

The comeback before it came

And you wondered why you stayed

An island, no way in or out

But if you spend a little time building your bridges

You might find you have a lot to say

Spend a little time trying hard to listen

Spend a little time

'Cause there's more to connect

What's inside us

Than what you'd expect

(It's) not gonna divide us

And you might be surprised

You never know

You might be surprised

At what you find

Spend a little time trying hard to listen

Spend a little time

'Cause there's more to connect

What's inside us

Than what you'd expect

Not gonna divide us

Spend a little time building your bridges, spend a little time
