Bridges

Think of the price when building a bridge

or the tower now crumbling

electrical lights shine from the ceiling

onto shimmering wedding rings

remember when we would look ahead

and marvel at all we could see

oh, how the awe and wonder we felt

had hidden what it would all mean

Will the tight of the rising sea

cool the fires of the desert heat

we have less now then when we had nothing

Men lost their lives building the bridges

the tower and dams that bring

electrical lives and modern convenience

even gold for those wedding rings

oh, how we used to look ahead

and marvel at all we would see

how did the awe and wonder of it

hide a truth that was plain to be seen

Will the tight of the risin sea

cool the fires of the desert heat

we have less than we had, after all has been said

now we have less than nothing
