marketplace

melody: jingle bells

marketplace, bakery
prices never fair
jail house, hospital
policeman on the chair

coffee shop, mosque and church
children run to school
supermarket, factory
tourists eating foul

mish-mash on the streets
of arabia
rubbish, rose and sandelwood
curry, paprika

people crossing goats
shouting here and there
money comes and goes
business everywhere

love can build a bridge

Melody: love can build a bridge

when we walked across the desert
all together hand in hand
found a shiny piece of gold
a treasure in the sand

our story seemed so lucky
until fighting killed our dreams
I lost my friends, was sad and lonely
we all forgot what friendship means

love can build a bridge
between your heart and mine
love can build a bridge
let a warm light shine
between your heart and mine

on my own I was walking
met nice people on the way
when time had gone I realised
my heart was far away

I missed my friends so badly
‘bout the gold I didn’t care
friendship is the greatest gift
and we had something left to share

love can....

when we stand together
everything makes sense
we can do anything - anything
if we keep believing in the power

love can build a bride
between your heart and mine
love can build a bridge
let a warm light shine
between your heart and mine
