incident on a bridge
(Kerry Livgren) It began in the underground, with visions of light and sound The music revealing the deepest passion Around us a river raged, still I knew that the scene was staged Awaiting the consequence, I don't believe in accidents (Chorus) It's all too real, all these things we feel As the years go by, things intensify And I know, for each life there is a reason And I know, for each time there is a season Now the bridge leads on, to a brighter dawn It's waiting for me We were tied by a bond of fate, in our hearts we could feel the weight Carried along by the winds of fortune The outcome was never known, and our purpose was never shown. 'Til everything fell in place, the words on the wall we could not erase (Chorus) Each piece is arranged, the puzzle's complete Victory's taste is so bittersweet No regrets for the time that was lost For it all comes out in the end And the prize is worth all the tears that it cost For the stairway you ascend Drawing us near It's where we belong The world has a lot to give, but it's worthless if you don't live And life only comes from the one who made it When I look back and see the plan, when I retrace the race we ran The course was so clear and true, each bridge that we crossed led me straight to you.
