Incident on a Bridge Lyrics

(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

(Chorus)
