"Different Bridges, Same River" lyrics

Everybody wants a place to place the blame
'Cause who would wanna stand
And fall on their own sword
Everybody wants to play it face to face
Without a winning hand
That no one wants to fold

The water's deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water's deep on both sides
But we don't seem to mind

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)

I know you have got a reason for the flame
That's burning in your mind
And keeping us apart
What if I told you mine's the same
Just a different kind of fire
A different kind of spark

The water's deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water's deep on both sides
But we've made up our minds

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
I don't know

We keep waiting for the day somebody says their mind has changed
'Cause we would rather face the waves alone than see another way
Don't you call it warfare, cause we are getting nowhere
At least on that we can agree

Building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Oh why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
I don't know
