Divided generations the aged knows, The youth also. The aged are patient and wise

The young quick knowledgeable, powerful yet the youth are trying to get were the Elderly are. Without the pains, the brokeness, the closeness to death.

: "A passage way to the walkway to heaven is how I now live

Bridge the generation of the youth and the elderly" :

I am a young man from Yucatan
Trying to understand
You're an elder man from Philly
I bridge a road, a road I've build the emotional trip ever so chilly
You were born shoes you walk in where made by those...
Who dare the generations before you knew choose
How to make basics now and you
You come along you know it all too
But you can't even spin the ball
At night you watch the lights and the moon in AHHH!
Well it's not alright now
There's much you can learn from me you say wow
I've been here longer that you
Some twenty, forty, sixty, seven-plus years have I SURVIVED
NOW AT THIRTY FOUR YOU JUST TRYING TO LIVE YOUR LIFE NOW;
BRIDGE THE GAP, GAP THE BRIDGE LIVE THE LIFE GOD WANTS YOUR HEART
He wants you to live
And bridge the generation of the youth and the elderly
A passage way to the walkway to heaven is how I now live
Bridge the generations all of Gods creations
In each and every nation
The twenty year olds, the thirty year olds
The forty and so on, and so on
Must all come along for the journey
When the young take the hands of the elderly clan, and...
We walk across life Bridge together, together
We walk the bridge once forever, and ever
There's much you can learn from me
I've been here longer that you
Some twenty-four you just trying to live your life now
Bridge the gap, gap the bridge live the live God wants your heart
Bridge the generations all of Gods creations
In each and every single nation learn together fight for what's right
Subdue the wrongs we've done
and bridge the generations of the youth and the elderly
