"I'd Rather Be A Bridge" lyrics

"I'd Rather Be A Bridge"

Sometimes I'm a dove who soars for days
Sometimes I'm a sparrow singing in a cage
Most times I'm just trying not to fall
And I'd rather be a bridge than be a wall

Sometimes I'm a canyon full of gold
Sometimes I'm a cavern dark and cold
Most times I'm below the waterfall
And I'd rather be a bridge than be a wall

Oh, bridges always lead us somewhere
Walls keep us apart
Is there a way you'd open up
And let me in your heart?

Every time I let somebody in
Somehow, I just wind up at the start again
And I am lucky I've survived at all
Still, I'd rather be a bridge
I'd rather be a bridge
I'd rather be a bridge than be a wall
