"The Distance" lyrics

Saw an old friend yesterday
Guess we both had too much to say
Seems we've taken different sides
All caught up in politics and pride

If we can get beyond the blame
I know we would see we are still the same
The distance between us will fade
There will be no distance between us someday

In that distant land across the sea
There are people just like you and me
They just want to see their children grow
And feel the same love we all know
When we get beyond all the hurt and blame
And realize we are all the same
The distance between us will fade
There'll be no distance between us someday

We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
Take the steps
We need to take
To get us to a better place

Where the distance between us will fade
There will be no distance between us one of these days
One of these days

We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
Take the steps
We need to take
To get us to a better place
Where the distance between us fades away
There will be no distance between us one of these days

One of these days

We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
No distance
Between us
One of these days
