“And every one of us has to face that day;
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away?
And every one of us that ever came to play
Has to cross the bridge or fade away.”

With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.”

Context: Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.

But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
