'''"Love Can Build A Bridge"''' is a song written by Naomi Judd, Paul Overstreet & John Barlow Jarvis, and recorded by "Children For Rwanda" (incl. [[Stewart Copeland]]) in [[1994]].

=About the song=
This song was originally released by The Judds in December [[1990]].

In [[1994 ]] the song was re-recorded by "Children For Rwanda" for a charity release. All profits were donated to "Save The Children" for specific use in Rwanda.
It "only" reached Nr. 57 in the UK singles chart in September [[1994]], but still made a lot of money.

The song was recorded in various studios in London - among the musicians were [[Dominic Miller]], Mark Brzezicki and [[Stewart Copeland]].

Vocal arranger Robert Bicknell remembers [[Stewart Copeland]]'s contribution to the project. Stewart arrived at [[Olympic Studios]] (probably) with a bag full of sticks, rattles etc. and used a mixture of them for the song's percussion tracks.

As three percussionists were involved in the recording of the music it's hard to tell what exactly Stewart's contribution is.
[[Dominic Miller]]'s guitar however is very distinctive.

<pre>
I'd gladly walk across the desert 
With no shoes upon my feet 
To share with you the last bite 
Of bread I had to eat 
I would swim out to save you 
In your sea of broken dreams 
When all your hopes are sinkin' 
Let me show you what love means 

Love can build a bridge 
Between your heart and mine 
Love can build a bridge 
Don't you think it's time? 
Don't you think it's time? 

I would whisper love so loudly 
Every heart could understand 
That love and only love 
Can join the tribes of man 
I would give my heart's desire 
So that you might see 
The first step is to realize 
That it all begins with you and me 

Love can build a bridge 
Between your heart and mine 
Love can build a bridge 
Don't you think it's time? 
Don't you think it's time? 

When we stand together 
It's our finest hour 
We can do anything, anything 
Keep believin' in the power 

Love can build a bridge 
Between your heart and mine 
Love can build a bridge 
Don't you think it's time? 
Don't you think it's time? 

Love and only love 
Love and only love
</pre>
