Sad story begins And the walls come crashing in When the world outside can criticize me I think I'll take my leave, oh Bridge over me, I've fallen through And I can't find my way Bridge over me, I've fallen through It seems so near, it seems near Time stands so still When you got nowhere to run It's just one big lie, one waste of time And I can't find my way, oh Bridge over me, I've fallen through And I can't find my way Bridge over me, I've fallen through It seems so near, it seems so When life was easy every now and then I fell and I stumbled into grace Give me love, give me peace, give me anger Give me laughter to find my strength Give me hope, give me life, give me energy Give me reason within myself, within myself On and on Within myself Hey, hey, hey Bridge over me, I've fallen through And I can't find my way Bridge over me, I've fallen through It seems so near, it seems so near And on and on It seems so near And on and on It seems so near And on and on and on
