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 on 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 the bridge it shines
All cold hard iron
Saying come and risk it all
Or die trying
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
[Chorus:]
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 on 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
[repeat chorus]
And the bridge it shines
Oh cold hard iron
Saying come and risk it all
Or die trying
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 on 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 the bridge it shines
Oh cold hard iron
Saying come and risk it all
Or die trying
