Lyrics Verse 1 We used to gather up wherever the day would land Back porch, tailgate, dirt roads and open land Didn’t matter the place, just mattered we were there Side by side in the open air Verse 2 Now there’s miles between us that ain’t measured in space Just words left hanging we can’t erase And I don’t know how we got here, but I know what it’s cost Little hearts watching grown folks get lost Chorus So who’s gonna build that bridge when the river runs wide? Who’s gonna lay down pride and walk to the other side? ‘Cause home ain’t a place, it’s the ones you hold And love’s the only thing that outlives us all Yeah, we can stand here right… or we can stand together But only love can hold this family forever Verse 3 That eleven-year-old’s missing someone he still looks up to And a baby don’t know what he’s losing yet, but he will soon They don’t see the reasons, they don’t understand They just feel the space we left in their hands Verse 4 We’ve buried too many, we’ve stood in that pain Held each other close in the pouring rain We’re too few to fracture, too strong to divide Too much love here to just let it die Chorus So who’s gonna build that bridge when the river runs wide? Who’s gonna lay down pride and walk to the other side? ‘Cause home ain’t a place, it’s the ones you hold And love’s the only thing that outlives us all Yeah, we can stand here right… or we can stand together But only love can hold this family forever Bridge God knows we ain’t perfect, but He knows our hearts Didn’t bring us this far to tear us apart Forgiveness ain’t weakness, it’s the strongest thing It’s the only road that leads back to family Final Chorus (lift) So I’ll start building that bridge, even if I stand alone Laying down every hurt I’ve ever known ‘Cause one day we’ll wish for just one more chance To hold this life, not watch it pass We can choose love now… or regret it later But only love’s gonna bring us back together Outro Wherever we land… that’s where home should be If you’re there with me
