My mother told me when I was just little
That helping out strangers will get you in trouble
Take care of your own, don't meddle or you'll find
The danger that's luking will up and attack you
And it's just like that train bridge
There's rocks down below
And the engine is pointed at you down the track
Well she survived hunger and she survived war
So I don't really blame her for thinking like that
Headline chasers, memory erasers
Making us doubt the beauty we find
Reduced to our wages advice from the sages
Warns about neighbours, sneaking up from behind
And yes I've been burned but I'm also tied to all that I fear
On that far side
So I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time
I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time
There's a lot about love that is not paradise
There's a lot about hate that's just a roll of the dice
It's easier to hide than reach out and try
Life is what you make it
Give love or just fake it
Take a risk and shake it
Or it will pa** you by
And I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time
I'm gonna cross that bridge one more time
