The bridge across my rivers

when I was lost and lonely
deserted by all I thought were friends
you were the one who stood by me
when I thought my world would end

every time I'm down on my luck
you help me once again
you are always the bridge across
the rivers of my pain

you carried me through the storm
when others didn't understand
when I look back at the help I had
there's only your footsteps in the sand

every time I'm down on my luck
you help me once again
you are always the bridge across
the rivers of my pain

you gave up your everything
to protect and comfort me
put your whole life on hold
just to let things be

every time I'm down on my luck
you help me once again
you are always the bridge across
the rivers of my pain
