Flowers on the Bridge Lyrics

Flowers on the bridge

I recall they closed the road

Took another 40 minutes

Kinda ruined the day

Well it made the local news

For a day or two anyway

People move on

No-one's life really changed

(Well someone's did ...)

So who was this lad?

Did we pass one another?

Someone's son? Someone's brother?

Someone's insignificant other?

What brought him to

This disillusion?

Some kind of cry for help

Or a logical conclusion?

And if you've ever had those thoughts

Like all young men have

We're not cosmonauts

Don't always have a plan

But it's never as bad

As you fear it is

We're here to help you

Help you get through this

Don't just become

Flowers on some bridge

So what now?

What can we learn, what should we change?

In the end it was a free choice

Though maybe not the best one

Don't try to face it alone

There's always, always someone else

We can mitigate all risks

Except the worst one - yourself

And if you've ever had those thoughts

Like all young men have

We're not cosmonauts

Don't always have a plan

But it's never as bad

As you fear it is

We're here to help you

Help you get through this

You've got more to give

Than just flowers on some bridge

If you've ever had those thoughts

Like all young men have

We're not cosmonauts

Don't always have a plan

But it's never as bad

As you fear it is

We're here to help you

Help you get through this

Please don't just become

Flowers on some bridge
