Wilma Groenen - The Train Bridge lyrics

My mother told me when I was just little That helping out strangers will get you in trouble Take care of your own, don't meddle or you'll find The danger that's luking will up and attack you And it's just like that train bridge There's rocks down below And the engine is pointed at you down the track Well she survived hunger and she survived war So I don't really blame her for thinking like that Headline chasers, memory erasers Making us doubt the beauty we find Reduced to our wages advice from the sages Warns about neighbours, sneaking up from behind And yes I've been burned but I'm also tied to all that I fear On that far side So I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time There's a lot about love that is not paradise There's a lot about hate that's just a roll of the dice It's easier to hide than reach out and try Life is what you make it Give love or just fake it Take a risk and shake it Or it will pa** you by And I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time
