SIMON & GARFUNKEL LYRICS
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
FROM FATHERS “I AM” POINT OF VIEW
When
you're weary, feeling small,
“I AM” THERE, ALWAYS LOVING ALL
When
tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
WITH THE LOVE OF MY HAND TO COOL YOU ALL
I'm
on your side. When times get rough
FOR “I AM” THERE NOT FAR AT ALL, JUST ABOVE
And
friends just can't be found,
EASILY, UNLESS YOU LOOK FROM WITHIN ALL OF US
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will lay me down.
TO DRINK THAT IS FROM ABOVE
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO
IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will lay me down.
TO
DRINK THAT IS FROM ABOVE
When
you're down and out,
LEARN
FROM ME WITHOUT A DOUBT
When
you're on the street,
OF
HARD KNOCKS
When
evening falls so hard
LEARN
TO BOUNCE UP WITH NO REGARD
I
will comfort you.
I
WILL EVEN CARRY YOU
I'll
take your part.
OF
PAIN AND SUFFERING
When
darkness comes
I
WILL TURN ON THE LIGHT
And
pain is all around,
I
WILL FLOOD YOU WITH MY LOVE, JOY AND PEACE
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO
IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will lay me down.
TO
DRINK THAT IS FROM ABOVE
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO
IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will lay me down.
TO
DRINK THAT IS FROM ABOVE
Sail
on silver girl,
FULL
OF GLITTER AND DISPLAY
All
that glitters (physical materiality) is gold (false immortality) (Isaiah 64:6)
And she's buying (eating the apple) a stairway
(short cut) to heaven ((D)evil's lie)
Sail
on by.
TO
A NEW DAY
Your
time has come to shine.
IN
THE BRIGHTNESS OF MY LOVE AND GRACE
All
your dreams are on their way.
IF
ONLY YOU LEARN TO WALK IN MY WAY
See
how they shine.
IN
THE DARKNESS
If
you need a friend
YOU
CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON ME FROM ABOVE
I'm
sailing right behind.
YOU,
WATCHING YOU ALL THE WAY
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO
IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will ease your mind.
WHEN
YOU LOOK ABOVE AND LEARN TO FLY LIKE A DOVE
Like
a bridge over troubled water
SO
IS MY LOVE THAT FLOWS FROM ABOVE
I
will ease your mind.
TO
FLY IN THE CURRENT OF MY LOVE, ALWAYS READY
TO
BLESS OTHERS WITHOUT A DOUBT
"Citizen Of The Planet"
I
am a citizen of the planet
I
AM LAZY AND I WILL NOT PRAY
I
was born here
SO
THEY SAY
I'm
going to die here
FOR
I WISH NOT TO STAY
Come
what may
I
WILL HAVE TO PAY
“the piper someday”
I
am entitled by my birth
WITHOUT
DELAY
To
the treasures of the earth
I
WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH
No
one must be denied these
THINGS,
JUST
TO BE GAY
light-hearted
and carefree.
in
high spirits, joyful, elated, exuberant,
No
one must be denied
WHAT
CAN I SAY
Easy
dreams
ALONG
THE WAY
At
the end of a chain-smokin' day
I
WILL LEARN TO REST IN THE HAY
Easy
dreams at the end of the day
SO
THEY SAY
Who
am I to believe?
EXCEPT
THE SUN WITH HIS RAY
“Rainbow
of hope”
That
the future we perceive
WILL
STAY
WHEN WE PRAY
Lies
in danger and the dangers increase
WHEN
WE DISOBEY
THE MASTER ALONG THE WAY
Who
are we to demand?
ALONG
THE WAY
That
the leaders of the land
DESERVED
TO BE FLAYED
Whip
or beat (someone) so harshly as to remove their skin.
“For
all there lies and deception”
Hear
the voices of reason and peace
TODAY, AND LEARN TO OBEY
We
are the citizens of the planet
WHO
ARE LAZY AND WILL NOT PRAY
We
were born here
SO
THEY SAY
We're
going to die here
FOR
REAL, FOR I DO NOT WANT TO STAY
Come
what may
THEY
WILL THROW A BOCAY
“Beautiful
bokeh of flowers”
I
am entitled by my birth
WITHOUT
DELAY
To
the treasures of the earth
I
WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH
No
one must be denied these
THINGS,
JUST TO BE GAY
Light-hearted
and carefree.
In
high spirits, joyful, elated, exuberant,
No
one must be denied
WHAT
CAN I SAY
Easy
dreams
ALONG
THE WAY
At
the end of a chain-smokin' day
I
WILL LEARN TO REST IN THE HAY
Easy
dreams at the end of the day
SO
THEY SAY
Who
am I to deny
ON THE DAY, IN MAY, IN THE HAY, AS I LAY, TO PRAY
What
my eyes can clearly see
AS
I STRAY
ALONG THE WAY
And
raise a child with a flame in his heart
WHO
HAS LEARNT TO OBEY ON MY DAY
The Sabbath (Saturday) was to be used to
teach your children to sing this "Song", not hymns or rock and roll
etc. but THIS "Song", without which you can NOT survive or live in
peace and HARMONY with your fellow man.
Who
are we to believe
IN SUCH PLAYFULL AND GAYFULL “time”
That
these thoughts are so naïve
TO BEHAVE IN SUCH A WAY
When we've all disagreed from the start
LET’S GET TOGETHER IN AGREEMENT; PRAY AND OBEY FOR THERE
IS NO OTHER WAY.
