In a world of uncertainty The night sky told us all to be patient When the ground started shaking I wonder for how long There's a place that I rather be There's a voice deep inside me saying The progress we are making Is not progress at all Into a world of promises (wo, oh!) Is where we let ourselves been led We build the bridges We now sleep under We frame the doorways But we not pass through The very same roads That we now wander Who once you pass us by on We paved with our bare hands Paved with our bare hands A black cloud hovers over me Without all this guilt I feel naked Something about the way it Wraps its arms around White snow covers everything An angel watches over me praying She asks me for a favor Catch me if I fall A rush of blood straight to the head (wo, oh!) I wonder what this could have been We build the bridges We now sleep under We frame the doorways But we not pass through The very same roads That we now wander Who once you pass us by on We paved with our bare hands Paved with our bare hands Hey!!! No I never meant to hurt you, oh! No I never meant to do you wrong I stood waiting while the man said : move along We lay the tracks down But now they rotted Like a runaway train We brace for the crash We where in love once Have you forgotten? And like a runaway train Bearing down upon a gap We build the bridges (brace for the crash!) We build the bridges (brace for the crash!) We build the bridges (brace for the crash!) We build the bridges (brace for the crash!) And underneath the shadows we now love
