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

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 at 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

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

And the bridge, it shines, oh, cold, hard iron

Sayin', "Come and risk it all or die trying"

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

Has to cross the bridge or fade away
