Some Bridges

Every day I walk out in this torn up world And I fight to survive I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday And I'm alive Carrying your smile with me Carrying your smile with me Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down That low road, day by day And I just go on working for the things I need And making my own way Carrying your smile with me, oh yea Carrying your smile with me Take a walk on the troubled side of this old town Take a walk on the broken streets and the buildings falling down Look at all these kids with nothing but trouble in their eyes Trouble in their future, trouble in their lives Some bridges are falling down Some bridges are still around Take a walk on the shaded uptown avenue Some people are doing well no matter how they do And I know there's more to life than what you own But I see so many good things, things I've never known Some bridges are falling down Some bridges are still around Every night I listen to the sound of the street Lying in my bed I love to see the dreams that are dancing there In the light above your head And sometimes I get so weary And when hope is caving in You fill me with your love and your laughter, baby Until I get back up again Carrying your smile with me (Take a walk on the streets of this divided town) Carrying your smile with me (Take a walk on the smoking edge of the battleground) Carrying your smile with me (Take a look at the situation, the poverty and the desperation) (Take the time for the realization) Everyday I'm carrying your smile with me (Take a walk in the daylight) Carrying your smile with me (Some bridges are falling down) Carrying your smile with me (Some bridges are still around)
