The Bridge Builders by Bob Schneider

you asked me a question
i think i was somewhere else
you said you’re not listening
you said i never do
but i try, i try so hard
but it’s so hard in this big world
it’s so big and so shiny and
all around us like a big cartoon
you asked me to help you build a bridge
so we could meet in between
but i’m building my own bridge
to somewhere so far from here
i’m building my own bridge
i’ll call you when i get there

you said you were leaving
i heard you sweet and clear
you said it’s not easy
with you, you’re never here
im lost and i don’t know why
you seem so far away
i see you working so hard
working so hard each day
building your own bridge
to somewhere so far away
your building your own bridge
don’t worry i wont stand in your way
i’m building my own bridge
my own bridge i can call my own
i’m bulding my own bridge
i’ll call you when i get home
