The bridge that brought me back to you.
Where joys are many and sorrows so few.
Where dreams are meant to rise each day.
And where love is not just a word you say.
The bridge spans to my failures on Earth.
To a time when I felt I had little worth.
But thanks to a friend and a little light.
I know in my heart I'll now be alright.
Comforted in the joys that life will bring.
I've returned to where love is everything.
Where it's the wind, the water and the fire.
Back to where my heart can truely inspire.
The place I now see is wide, wild and bold.
A place where feelings are given, not sold.
Alone, yet happy, sad and full of such joy.
With only one bridge left to destroy.
Beyond the bridge lays a golden treasure.
Of things that I knew not how to measure.
Money bought me happiness, for a while.
But my reflection never did seem to smile.
I could go to the moon and touch a star.
I could go to lands both near and far.
I could happy and alone, joyfull and sad.
For the longest time that wasn't so bad.
I have only this bridge left to destroy.
Where the laughter never brought me joy.
Where pain is all there seemed to be.
Where I was, but never was really me.
The last deed that I need to do right.
The bridge needs destroying tonight.
Isn't it strange that I feel this way.
I'm back on the Earth and want to stay.
I want the joys that only love brings.
Lonely in a crowd, and childish things.
Hoping to get these feelings said right.
To those that know of me in this plight.
Lonely yet happy, sad and so full of joy.
With only one bridge left to destroy.
Here, where happiness is what it should be.
Here, where I am me and truely should be.
Where the tears flow because they should.
Here, where what I do is the best I could.
Here, where failure does not matter at all.
Here, where love can be written on a wall.
Where I can be lonely with so much joy.
With no bridges left for me to destroy.
Where happiness is what is should be.
And happiness is all that can be.
