Bridge (Angelique Kidjo)
A glimpse of hope in humanity
The last frontier of our own sanity
Spread your love to all equally
And plant the seeds of radical beauty
The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
A clear way on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
We’ll get down on a brand new day
Outro
Walk with your head straight (respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (respect is reciprocal)
Walk with your head straight (respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (respect is reciprocal)
