I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long 
And they built it high and they built it strong 
Strong enough to hold the weight of time 
Long enough to leave some of us behind 

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away 

Standing on the bridge, looking at the waves 
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved 
On a distant beach, your song can die 
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide 

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away 

And the bridge, it shines 
Oh, cold, hard iron 
Saying,Come and risk it all 
Or die trying?€? 

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
