Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
An unseen bridge beneath the river represents a connection that distance and changing seasons cannot break. The narrator addresses a lover through images of deep water, children and returning light. Trusting the current becomes a way of imagining freedom and shared spiritual belonging without needing to see the whole path ahead.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
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 *********
