Sting - The Bridge lyrics

[Verse 1] They say there's a bridge up there Up there in the mist Some will deny it's there Others will tell you it don't even exist [Verse 2] It's not made of iron or steel nor stone Yet it spans the rising waters We are but bags of blood and bone If we carry the weight of our sons and our daughters [Chorus] And now that feels are rather drowned And we climb up to the ridge Some will seek the higher ground Some of us the bridge [Verse 3] If all is bеhind us Beneath us swollen rivеr The bridge we will find somehow Only then we would be delivered [Verse 4] Though some will claim to be inclined It's a figment or a ghost But the bridge is deep inside the mind Invisible to most [Chorus] And now the city's all but drowned And here upon the ridge Some will seek the higher ground Some of us the bridge [Outro] We'll open the gates that we may follow Open the bridge to all of us Open the floodgate to the river Open the bridge that we may cross
