Some Bridges

Every day I walk out in this torn up world
 And I fight to survive
 I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday
 And I'm alive
 Carrying your smile with me
 Carrying your smile with me
 Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down
 That low road, day by day
 And I just go on working for the things I need
 And making my own way
 Carrying your smile with me, oh yea
 Carrying your smile with me
 Take a walk on the troubled side of this old town
 Take a walk on the broken streets and the buildings falling down
 Look at all these kids with nothing but trouble in their eyes
 Trouble in their future, trouble in their lives
 Some bridges are falling down
 Some bridges are still around
 Take a walk on the shaded uptown avenue
 Some people are doing well no matter how they do
 And I know there's more to life than what you own
 But I see so many good things, things I've never known
 Some bridges are falling down
 Some bridges are still around
 Every night I listen to the sound of the street
 Lying in my bed
 I love to see the dreams that are dancing there
 In the light above your head
 And sometimes I get so weary
 And when hope is caving in
 You fill me with your love and your laughter, baby
 Until I get back up again
 Carrying your smile with me
 (Take a walk on the streets of this divided town)
 Carrying your smile with me
 (Take a walk on the smoking edge of the battleground)
 Carrying your smile with me
 (Take a look at the situation, the poverty and the desperation)
 (Take the time for the realization)
 Everyday I'm carrying your smile with me
 (Take a walk in the daylight)
 Carrying your smile with me
 (Some bridges are falling down)
 Carrying your smile with me
 (Some bridges are still around)
