[Verse 1]
There’s a bridge between two hearts
You can’t see it, but it’s there
Every word can lay a board
Every choice can show we care
When we tell the truth with love
It stays steady, it stays near
But when the truth gets pushed away
Little cracks begin to appear
[Chorus]
Keep the bridge short
Keep the bridge strong
Built with the truth
So love can walk on
Even when voices get loud in the room
Your heart knows the way
Your heart knows what’s true
[Verse 2]
Sometimes someone that we love
May ask us to hide what we know
Or say a thing that isn’t real
So another heart feels low
But love should never need a lie
To make it through the day
And if the bridge starts breaking down
Truth can show the way
[Chorus]
Keep the bridge short
Keep the bridge strong
Built with the truth
So love can walk on
Even when voices get loud in the room
Your heart knows the way
Your heart knows what’s true
[Verse 3]
We had a friend with gentle eyes
Who waited by the door
Then one day the story changed
And he wasn’t there no more
Sometimes things don’t feel quite right
Even when the words sound kind
You can miss what you once loved
And trust what’s in your mind
[Bridge]
If someone gets angry
When you say what’s true
That doesn’t mean the wrong
Is living inside you
Find the hands that hold you safe
Find the hearts that let you speak
Teachers, helpers, gentle souls
Who protect the small and weak
[Final Chorus]
Keep the bridge short
Keep the bridge strong
Built with the truth
So love can walk on
If it gets long
If it starts to fall
One honest step
Can still cross it all
[Outro]
Truth is a lantern
Love is the road
And no little heart
Should carry alone
