Bridges - Dianne Reeves

I have crossed a thousand bridges

In my search for something real

There were great suspension bridges

Made like spider webs of steel

There were tinny wooden trestles

And there were bridges made of stone

I have always been a stranger and

I’ve always been alone

There’s a bridge to tomorrow

There’s a bridge to the past

There’s a bridge made of sorrow

That I pray will not last

There’s a bridge made of color

In the sky high above

And I pray that there must be

Bridges made out of love

I can see him in the distance

On the river’s other shore

And his arms reach out in longing

As my own have done before

And I call across to tell him

Where I believe the bridge must lie

And I’ll find it

Yes I’ll find it

If I search until I die

When the bridges is between us

We’ll have nothing to say

We will run thru the sunlight

And he’ll meet me halfway

There’s a bridge made of color

In the sky high above

And I know that there must be

Bridges made out of love
