Bridges Songtext / Lyric

In a world of uncertainty

The night sky told us all to be patient

But when the ground started shaking

I wondered for how long?



But there's a place that I'd rather be

And there's a voice deep inside of me

Saying the progress we are making

Is not progress at all



Into a world of promises

Is where we let ourselves be led



We built the bridges

We now sleep under

We framed the doorways

But may not pass through

The very same roads

That we now wander

The ones you pass us by on

We paved with our bare hands

Paved with our bare hands






A black cloud hovers over me

But without all this guilt I feel naked

Something about the way it

Wraps its arms around



White snow covers everything

An angel watches over me praying

She asks me for a favor

"Catch me if i fall"



A rush of blood straight to the head

I wonder what this could have been



We built the bridges

We now sleep under

We framed the doorways

But may not pass through

The very same roads

That we now wander

The roads you pass us by on

We paved with our bare hands

Paved with our bare hands, hey



No I never meant to hurt you

No I never meant to do you wrong

I stood waiting but

A man said move along



We laid the tracks down

But now they've rotted

And like a runaway train

We brace for the crash

We were in love once

Have you forgotten?

And like a runaway train

Bearing down upon a gap



We built the bridges

We built the bridges

We built the bridges

We built the bridges

And underneath their

Shadows we now live
