Lyrics
AS THE BRIDGES BURN Ac 2007 DAVID ALYASSIN
We're all looking for
Something
To help us through the
Day
We're all waiting for
Someone to
Come and take us
Away
We're all hoping for
That call
From a famous
Movie
Star
We think they'll find a
New drug that
Makes us more beauti-
ful than we
Are
Where do we
Go from
Here
Where do we
Go from
Here
I hold my head up
High
As the
Bridges
Burn
Will I ever
Learn to live
With you in
Harmony
Will I ever
Walk this Earth
And know what it means to be
Free
We're all keeping a
Watch from the
Corner of our
Eye
We're all running so fast
We think that we can
Fly
We all hear the
Voices that the
Crazy
People
Do
We all see the future
We just can't be-
lieve it's
True
Where do we
Go from
Here
Where do we
Go from
Here
I hold my head up
High
As the
Bridges
Burn
