The Bridge Lyrics

There's a bridge across the river

Much too wide for me to swim

Someone's been there before me

Took the time

To put the bridge in

I was thankful

As I walked across it

I seen the raging water below

For that bridge across the river

Kept me from drowning

In the depths below

Someone's gone on before me

Paving a path for my feet

Marking a trail

Putting up signs

Telling me things that I'd need

Someone's gone on before me

Charting the course up ahead

Pointing out the dangers

And the pitfalls I'd face

'Cause they knew I couldn't see

There's a bridge across the river

Much too wide for me to swim

Someone been there before me

And took the time

To put the bridge in

And I was thankful

As I walked across it

I seen the raging water below

For that bridge across the river

Kept me from drowning

In the depths below

Someone's gone on before me

Lending a hand

Reaching back

Sharing

A word of encouragement

When they seen me

Stray from the path

Someone's gone on before me

Sharing stories

From farther along

Giving me

Strength for tomorrow

So I could finish

The day that I'm on

There's a bridge across the river

Much too wide for me to swim

Someone been there before me

They took the time

To put the bridge in

And I was thankful

As I walked across it

I seen the raging water below

For that bridge across the river

Kept me from drowning

In the depths below

Someone gone on before me

Holding a light in the dark

Helping me walk in the footsteps

Of others who'd gone on before

Someone's gone on before me

Sharing stories

From father along

Giving me

Strength for tomorrow

So I could finish

The day that I'm on

There's a bridge across the river

Much too wide for me to swim

Someone been there before me

They took the time

To put the bridge in

I was thankful

As I walked across it

I seen the raging water below

For that bridge across the river

Kept me from drowning

In the depths below

There's a bridge across the river

There's a bridge across the river

There's a bridge across the river
