Building Bridges from Sanctuary by Sandra St. Victor
- aka the ballad of The Family Stand.
Tons of imagery, TFS lyrical and historical references.
The pain over the breaking up of our band is palpable.
The voices, the VOICES!
Peter, Jeff & I have a blend that's outta this world. We dragged Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates to the studio for this track as well. He killed it. Listen for him on the bridge, and check the end ad libs of Jeff. Stellar.

Lyrics
Building Bridges
hey hey hey hey ... building bridges
Is it true, they wanna know, well is it so
I'll tell it now, listen, come on, hey, I say, watch the moon
Is it hanging low, does it cease it's glow, or is it in Scorpio
They were building bridges over miles of desert sand
With a voice and vision, with the will to take a stand
They were building bridges, to escape the devil's hand, now tell me
Who's gonna lead us to the promised land
Heed the signs, when the sky falls down no shelter can be found
hear me now I say, will you go
Will you be there for us all, or break the chain
Don't break the chain
They were building bridges over miles of desert sand
With a voice and vision, with the will to take a stand
They were building bridges, to escape the devil's hand, now tell me
Who's gonna lead us to the promised land
She closed her eyes, yeah she closed her eyes
Now the storm has risen, no sleep as heaven cries
So go on with your tunnel vision, truth's a leper to your soul
Changed the wine to water, turned the straw to gold
They were building bridges over miles of desert sand
With a voice and vision, with the will to take a stand
They were building bridges, to escape the devil's hand, now tell me
Who's gonna lead ya
They were building bridges over miles of desert sand
With a voice and vision, and a will to take a stand
They were building bridges, to escape the devil's hand, now tell me
Who's gonna lead ya
Who's gonna lead ya to the promised land
Who's gonna lead ya now
