Lyrics The Bridge - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown

The Bridge

Everyone who is born is gonna die someday
So you’d better find out what you’re all about
'Fore you come back again
I’m standing here
Never shed a tear
As you’re walking on the bridge
The bridge above the river
The river of your dreams
The bridge is starting to sway
(Starting to sway, starting to sway)
Escalator to the moon make man a dwarf of time
But back here on Earth people blind from birth
Want the Sun to shine
I’m standing here
Never shed a tear
When you’re walking on the bridge
The bridge across the river
The river of your dreams
The bridge is starting to sway
(Starting to sway, starting to sway, starting to sway)
The moon that lies in the water
Breaks as the storm winds blow
But up in the sky the moon rides high
And caused a glow below
I’m standing here
Never shed a tear
As you’re walking on the bridge
The bridge above the river
The river of your dreams
The bridge is starting to sway
(Starting to sway, starting to sway, starting to sway)
Oh, will it ever set you free?
You’re living in a land of fantasy
(The bridge across the river, the bridge across the river)
They say that all roads lead to Rome
(The bridge across the river, the bridge across the river)
But you know that place ain’t your home
(The bridge across the river, the bridge across the river)
You’re running away from yourself
(The bridge across the river, the bridge across the river)
You’ve ended up as someone else
In the ocean of your dreams
Lost inside the heart’s caress
You can feel the endless fields
Of opening in your souls
Let go of all the future
And then see it coming fast
Take hold of what you are
Leave behind the past
Let go of all religion
Let go of hopes and fears
Let go of who you thought you were, for all these years
It’s just a story, it’s just a game
You’re standing on the bridge…
