[Verse 1]
In a little town where the river bends
Church bells ring out on the roads that never end
Folks gather close on Sunday morn
Prayin’ for strength when the whole world feels worn
[Pre-Chorus]
Old Joe stands by the courthouse square
Bible in his hand like a promise there
He says, “Keep peace keep common ground”
In all this noise we still need that sound
[Chorus]
Where religion meets the politics
Hearts stay heavy and the air is thick
But love and hope find their way
Light the dark at the end of the day
Where religion meets the politics
(where it meets)
Where religion meets the politics
(we keep going)
[Verse 2]
The preacher talks of a brighter day
Where every soul can find a way
From the pews to the polling lines
We hold our faith and we hold our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
We got our differences still we stand
One old county one shared land
Faith and freedom side by side
Let’s build a bridge and take that ride
[Chorus]
Where religion meets the politics
Hearts stay heavy and the air is thick
But love and hope find their way
Light the dark at the end of the day
Where religion meets the politics
(where it meets)
Where religion meets the politics
(we keep going)
[Bridge]
Build a bridge not a wall
When we reach together we don’t fall
From the porch light to the county fair
We can meet in the middle if we meet there
[Chorus]
Where religion meets the politics
Hearts stay heavy and the air is thick
But love and hope find their way
Light the dark at the end of the day
Where religion meets the politics
(where it meets)
Where religion meets the politics
(side by side)
[Outro]
So walk this road side by side
Open hearts arms open wide
In this little town where the river bends
We’ll find our way together, my friends
