Bridge of Hope
Bridging Hearts: Unveiling the Soulful Meaning Behind Lara Fabian's 'Bridge of Hope'
Lyrics
I want believe
I desire to have faith
That my prayers are being heard
Believing that my prayers are acknowledged
Lately it seems
Recently, it appears
They have all been wasted words
Those prayers seem ineffective or insincere
How many prayers will it take
Questioning the quantity of prayers needed
How many tears must we cry
How many tears must be shed
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
Until we can reach a symbolic 'bridge of hope'
To peace on the other side
Leading to peace on the other side
I know we could change
Expressing belief in the potential for change
The sadness into smiles
Transforming sorrow into happiness
If we could all see the world
If everyone could perceive the world as a child does
Through the eyes of a child
How many prayers and tears are necessary
How many prayers will it take
Repetition of the questioning of prayer quantity
How many tears must we cry
Reiteration of the tears needed for change
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
Reaffirming the quest for the 'bridge of hope'
To peace on the other side
Reaching peace on the symbolic other side
If everybody has the same thoughts
If everyone shares common thoughts
And everybody shares the same dream
And a shared dream unites all
Can't we get together
Encouraging unity to improve the world
And make this world a better place
Working together for a better world
I had a dream
Recalling a dream
All our hatred turned into love
Imagining a transformation of hatred into love
And every river of tears
Visualizing the end of tears, replaced by dryness
Dried up into dust
Desiring unity between all individuals
Every woman and man
Men and women standing together
Standing side by side
Leading to the crossing of the 'bridge of hope'
Then we walked across that bridge of hope
Reaching peace on the symbolic other side
To peace on the other side
Empty row for clarity
I want believe
Believing in the effectiveness of prayers
That my prayers are being heard
Recent doubts about the impact of prayers
Lately it seems
Perceiving prayers as futile lately
They have all been wasted words
Repeating the questioning of prayer effectiveness
How many prayers will it take
Reiterating the need for tears for change
How many tears must we cry
Repetition of the tears needed for transformation
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
Reaffirming the quest for the 'bridge of hope'
To peace on the other side
Reaching peace on the symbolic other side
Can we talk across that bridge of hope
Expressing the possibility of communication
And find peace
Seeking peace across the 'bridge of hope'
Sweet peace
Desiring a serene and harmonious peace
On the other side
Anticipating finding peace on the other side
