Bridges of Peace
by Eric D.
Look at the trees?. tell me what do you see?
Through your window?. behind the glass
Somewhere a child is peering through another window
Wondering what will pass
If only he could climb a tree he?d be so happy?without a clue
He wouldn?t care about the world and where it?s going
Dreams will come true
Bridges of Peace - Connecting everyone
You and me?. and all of us together
Bridges of Peace ? Will span across the sea
Love will light the way
Look in his eyes?it comes as no surprise
How can he miss what he never knew?
Show him the simple things?the essence of his childhood
Dreams will come true
Bridges of Peace - Connecting everyone
You and me?. and all of us together
Bridges of Peace ? Will span across the sea
Love will light the way
Come all you children to me
Cross over now
Reach High?.Higher?Higher
Stone by stone?. we can?t do it alone
Bridges of Peace are we
"I used a "Video" approach to write it. Here's what I envisioned.....
The camera pans in on a map of the USA right inside a house somewhere in the Heartland of America. Someone is looking out the window at a beautiful tree.
He/She is filled with a feeling of freedom and is moved by the utter beauty of this simplistic yet wonderful sight. Now...the camera pans across the ocean and meets a young boy peering out his window at a similar tree. The same beauty exists but because of the circumstances (government oppression and bombs being lobbed at his neighborhood on a daily basis) the perception is skewed. Can you imagine being that child and feeling that oppressed?
Back to the house in the heartland where something wonderful is about to happen......
From this tiny backyard, several bridges (walkways) magically
sprout......spanning out from in front of that lovely tree. The magic
continues and the bridges (of peace) multiply and branch out to all nations.
You can now see children curiously crossing over from far away lands gathering under that one special tree where they are free to play and just be "KIDS".....the way it's suppose to be.
Setting up this visual was all I needed to start a flow of songwriting that came as easy to me as riding a bike."
