It’s something we all want and something we all need - respect!
Tolerance and respect for each other, and ourselves, builds a bridge between us and breaks down the barriers.

For 2 parts plus a rapper.

Respect (Build A Bridge)
Words and music by Glyn Lehmann

Verse
There's a thing that we all need 
Just like water and the air we breathe

Makes you feel you're ten feet tall

It cannot be bought, it cannot be sold 
But you can earn it if you take control

Respect yourself

Respect yourself

Build a bridge - break down the fence and
Build a bridge of respect

Chorus B
Break down the fence and build a bridge

Of respect

Bridge
Don’t respect the bully though
Cos we know something they don’t know
They’re just putting up a great big fence
Around themselves it makes no sense

Sooner or later they’ll realize
They can’t get out cos they’re trapped inside
The only way now for them to be free
Show respect for you and me - cos

This is part of a series of lead sheets I've made which are quick wins for your choir or would work brilliantly as a singalong. They are in singable keys and don't create too much photocopying! This song will also work perfectly with a commercially available backing track.
