When You Fall Downstream

I When the reverie has lost its shore, when you can no longer search for more- when the crowded room has lost its door, is when I’ll link my soul to yours. So, reach not without a connection- I will show you what this life is for. II I will be your ground when you rise too high, I will be your wings when you wish to fly- I will free you from the tears you cry, be your answers when you wonder why. So, reach not without a hand to hold- grasp onto me, don't say goodbye. CHORUS For your life is but a beautiful dream, things aren’t always as they seem- find ease in the comfort of my words, you shall never go unheard. Like the flight of a bird, walk over my bridge... when you fall downstream. III If you stumble over an arc of blame, if you’ve drowning in fear and shame- if nobody ever knows your name, is when I’ll ignite your burning flame. You are passion and beauty combined- please don’t ever feel ashamed. CHORUS For your life is but a beautiful dream, things aren’t always as they seem- find ease in the comfort of my words, you shall never go unheard. Like the flight of a bird, walk over my bridge... when you fall downstream. Oh, when you’re full of sorrow I’ll intervene, bring to you a life unseen- when shadows crawl I’ll light your spark, when in doubt I’ll hide the dark- for your life is but a dream, walk over my bridge... when you fall downstream. Baby, walk over my bridge… when you fall downstream (song ends in F-minor) Bridge Over Troubled Waters Contest October 7, 2017
