Lyrics
Fearless people, careless needle
Harsh words spoken and lives are broken
Forceful ageing, help me I'm fading
Heaven's waiting, it's time to move on
Crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
Life carries on, it goes on
Just say die and that would be pessimistic
In your mind we can walk across the water
Please don't cry it's just a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what's got into me
Been crossin' that bridge with lessons I've learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No"
Life carries on, it goes on
I'm crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned
I'm playing with fire and not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No"
'Cause life carries on, it goes on
It goes on, life carries on
When nothing else matters
When nothing else matters
I just don't know what's got into me
It's just a prayer for the dying, for the dying
