Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

You can't always see what connects us. Sometimes it's under the surface, holding while the seasons change and the miles do their best to look permanent. I think about that when the river catches the light. We don't need the whole crossing laid out before us. We just need to remember there's more here than the distance.

THE BRIDGE UNDER THE WATER

There's a Bridge Under The Water
A Bridge you cannot see
It has been down there Forever
On the way down to the Sea
There's a Bridge Under The Water
It is there Eternally
For the Bridge Under The Water
It runs from you to me

The River is much deeper
Then you will ever know
If you're a Promise Keeper
Then you know the Evenflow
The Ocean is much wider
Than we can ever be
But, the Bridge Under The Water
Leads to Infinity

We're sailing Undercover
Of a Ship out on the Sea
I've always been your Lover
And you're in Love with me
A mighty stretch of Water
Between the Canyon Walls
No more Star-crossed Lovers
When the Summer turns to Fall

The Water is much Wiser
Than you will ever be
Let Your Love be Inspired
By the Greatest Mystery
Don't ever be frightened
By what you hear or what you see
The Spirit Lives inside of you
And it Lives inside of me

The Bridge Under The Water
The same as Evermore
The Sunrise and the Eventide
Roll up on the Golden Shore
Feel the Children's laughter
So innocent, so pure
In The Loving Hands of the Master
From now, Forevermore

Let your self Down easy, glide into the Flow
Freedom comes so easily, on the River where it goes
You’re part of the Scenery, you're the Name of the Rose
There's a Bridge Under The Water, flow, Big River, flow
