I am

I Am

I am a bridge to a city unknown,
I wonder where I'll go,
I hear a trumpet blow,
I see a ship go,
I want to know what's in that city,
I am a bridge to city unknown,

I pretend to be you,
I feel that's something I can't do,
I touch the heart of someone gone,
I worry that I may be lost,
I cry when I lose one at great cost,
I am a bridge to a city unknown,

I understand that people die.
I say I understand why,
I dream I'll see again those that crossed way back when,
I try to see far away,
I hope for this pain to go away forever, not a day,
I am a bridge to a city unknown.
