From the recording Cross that Bridge
Life is mysterious. And death is mysterious. And, ultimately, each of us has to face both alone. I often wonder what the point of it all is. There is simultaneously so much suffering and joy, sorrow and hope. And we can't know what any of it means until we cross over to the other side. And maybe not even then. -Brandy
Lyrics
I’m gonna cross that bridge when I get to it
Cause this old life, it just don’t fit
All the peace and all the war
Tell me please what is it for
I’m just waitin’ on you to call me up
Today is the day I ran out of luck
Tomorrow it won’t ever be
A page in this book of me
No more sound of leaves in the breeze
Smell of earth beneath my feet
No sight of you at the door
All of that was before
I crossed that bridge
I’m gonna walk towards that true bright light
There ain’t no need to put up a fight
All the pain and all the love
Tell me please what they’re made of
I’m just waitin’ on you to say my name
Cause after that it won’t be the same
Tomorrow it won’t ever be
A line in this song of me
No more touching you in the dark
Remembering all the parts
No future plans anymore
All of that was before
I crossed that bridge
I’m gonna cross that bridge when I get to it
Cause this old life, it just don’t fit
All the peace and all the war
Tell me please what is it for
