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.
