Bridges

Bridges

I've crossed a thousand bridgesI have crossed a thousand bridges
In my quest for something realIn my search for something real
There were huge suspension bridgesThere were great suspension brigdes
Like spider webs of steelMade like spider webs of steel

There were tiny wooden trestlesThere were tiny wooden trestles
And bridges made of stoneAnd there were bridges made of stone
I've always felt like a strangerI have always been a stranger
And I've always been aloneAnd I've always been alone

There's a bridge to tomorrowThere's a bridge to tomorrow
There's a bridge from the pastThere's a bridge from the past
There's a bridge built from sorrowThere's a bridge made of sorrow
That I hope won't lastThat I pray will not last

There's a bridge made of colorsThere's a bridge made of colors
In the sky up aboveIn the sky high above
And I believe there must beAnd I think that there must be
Bridges made of loveBridges made out of love

I can see her in the distanceI can see her in the distance
On the other side of the riverOn the river's other shore
And her hands reach out, yearningAnd her hands reach out longing
Just like mine have done beforeAs my own have done before

And I call out to tell herAnd I call across to tell her
Where I think the bridge should beWhere I believe the bridge must lie
And I'll find it, yeah I'll find itAnd I'll find it, yes I'll find it
If I search until I dieIf I search until I die

When the bridge is between usWhen the bridge is between us
We won't have a thing to sayWe'll have nothing to say
We'll run through the sunlightWe will run through the Sun light
And I'll meet her halfwayAnd I'll meet her halfway

There's a bridge made of colorsThere's a bridge made of colors
In the sky up aboveIn the sky high above
And I'm sure that somewhereAnd I'm certain that somewhere
There's a bridge made of loveThere's a bridge made of love
