BRIDGES OF LIFE

WHEN YOU'RE A LITTLE CHILD IT MAY TAKE A WHILE
BEFORE YOU WALK  AND TALK
THEN YOU GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN THE RULES
OF LIFE THAT WE ARE TAUGHT
SOMETIMES THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE
BUT ALWAYS LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE

chorus;  STEP BY STEP ACROSS THE BRIDGES OF LIFE
               AS TIME GOES MARCHING BY
               DOWN THE DEEPEST VALLEYS
               AND REACHING FOR THE SKY
               AND WHEN THE FINAL BRIDGE APPEARS
               WE'LL FORGET OUR HOPES AND FEARS
               AS STEP BY STEP WE CROSS OVER
               THE BRIDGES IN OUR LIFE

WHEN WE'RE OLD ENOUGH WE MAY FIND LOVE
AND THEN WE HAVE TO DECIDE
IS SHE THE ONE FOR YOU AND WILL SHE BE TRUE
SHOULD YOU TAKE HER FOR A BRIDE
WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE COME TO IT
AND IF WE SEE A BRIGHTER DAY WE'LL RUN TO IT

                                chorus

ONE DAY WE'LL ARRIVE WHERE WE WONT SURVIVE
AND THERE'S ONLY ONE PATH LEFT TO TAKE
WE'LL LAY OUR BURDEN DOWN HERE ON THE GROUND
AND WHILE WE'RE STILL AWAKE
THINK OF THE LOVE WE'VE HAD, NOT THE LOVE WE;VE LOST
AND ALL THE BRIDGES IN OUR LIVES THAT WE HAVE CROSSED

                           chorus till end
