Bridges

There are bridges on life's highways,
but we never see them there.
Some cross troubled waters,
Some don't go nowhere.

Some you wouldn't step on if you were,
trying to save your soul.
One comes with a keeper,
When its time to pay the toll.

Some are meant to last forever,
Some are made of stone.
Some are meant to cross together,
Some you go alone.

Some the slightest wind can send them,
Crashing to the ground.
I set our bridge on fire,
but I could not burn it down...

And here I am,
Praying for forgiveness.
And I can see you,
standing on the other side.
Here I go,
Baby its a heavy load.
But I have crossed some broken bridges in my time...
