The Bridge

I've seen the bridge, and the bridge is long And they built it high, and they built it strong Strong enough to hold the weight of time Long enough to leave some of us behind [Chorus] And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away Standing on the bridge, looking at the waves Seen so many jump, never seen one saved On a distant beach your song can die On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide [Chorus] And the bridge - it shines Oh, cold hard iron Saying come and risk it all Or die trying [Chorus]
