Love Will Bridge the Gap

Love will keep me going
Love will keep me sane
Love will do whatever it can do
For a tortured brain
Love will up the ante
Love will bridge the gap
Love will take responsibility –
Love will take the rap 

If I ever wronged you, 
Well you know I did not mean it
If I’ve hid a secret from you,
I probably haven’t seen it

Our lives can look like prisons
With the jailors and the keys
Love will break these shackles
And send me to my knees

Love will keep me going
Love will keep me sane
Love will do whatever it can
To ease a tortured brain
Love will up the ante
Love will bridge the gap
Love will take responsibility –
Love will take the rap 

In the eyes of strangers,
We claw and we fight to survive
Worrying about the outcome
Too busy to feel alive

How do we keep on floating
If not for that raft called love?
It’s like a solemn, holy messenger
On a mission from above

Love will keep us going
Love will keep us sane
Love will do whatever it can to
Rescue a tortured brain
Love will up the ante
Love will bridge the gap
Love will take responsibility – 
Love will take the rap
