	Story Behind the Song Like many people,after 9/11 I felt a need to do something. When I was approached to donate a song, I jumped at the chance. I put out a call to fellow musicians in the area who were also signed with labels in Europe to lend a hand. The idea I had was to do something "unplugged", very organic. I wrote the song in about 2 weeks and recorded the main acoustic guitar then doubled it. They were meant to be scratch tracks to be replaced later, but they ended up being the ones on the record. NORWAY's singer Glenn Pierson, then came over and helped me polish up the tune, and laid down a guide vocal. I sent this round to some of the musicians as a means to learn the song. Others came in cold, never having heard the song. One by one the singers came in and each sang the song at least once all the way through. Then I had each singer sing each harmony part. Finally each singer sang the "vamp" section(where they adlib over the final few chorus's) once or twice doing whatever they felt. When this was finished I had amassed over 70 tracks of vocals. Now, in the meantime I had overdubbed with our drummer Marty, and a friend of mine Mike Kricko some percussion, then I laid down the "spanish" guitars in the bridge, a mellotron synth line in the chorus, and a bass guitar. Another friend, Glenn Taylor did the piano and Hammond solo. Then I went through each vocal track, picking out the best stuff, and piecing together the vocal tracks. It was alot of work, but alot of fun too. And all the while, I could always remeber the reason I was doing it. Lyrics Verse I’ve been to London, and I’ve been to Spain Seen the Great Wall of China and the wide desert plains People everywhere who look different than me Each and every one of them deserves to be free Chorus How long, will it take for us to build a bridge of faith So strong. Someday we all can cross together if we can just Hold On. And I may not have the answer But I know that love can’t be wrong Verse Millions of years this ball it has turned You’d think by now that the lesson was learned But lately it seems that the world’s gone insane It’s time we get on board that peace train again Chorus How long, will it take for us to build a bridge of faith So strong. Someday we all can cross together if we can just Hold On. And I may not have the answer But I know that love can’t be wrong BRIDGE Why is it so damn hard for us to get along Why can’t we all just live in peace together You know the fight’s been going on way too long Keeps going on and on, Yeah… gone on way too long - SOLO - HOOK How long, will it take for us to build a bridge of faith So strong. Someday we all can cross together if we can just Hold On. And I may not have the answer But I know that love can’t be wrong
