Every morning with the rising of the sun
It was, pull on your boots boy
There's work to be done
In the valley over yonder
Where the river runs between
Well folks they're needing bridges
Son, you know what I mean
It's time to snig out the timber
Get the monkey in the frame
Land all your girders
Get the decking on the same
Well such is the life
Of a bridge building man
He pushes on through thick and thin
The best that he can
Well the river runs deep
And the river runs wide
And there's only one way to the other side
Now we're building bridges
Got to build them strong
For when the river rises after the storm
Son did I ever tell ya, do you understand?
Do you know what it's like
To be a bridge building man?
So goes the story
Of my dad and grandpa Jack
Ever since I was a little boy
Sitting on my daddy's lap
He said, life is like a river son
That keeps us all apart
You got to learn to build your bridges
From heart to heart
Well the river runs deep
And the river runs wide
And there's only one way to the other side
Now we're building bridges
Got to build them strong
For when the river rises after the storm
Son did I ever tell ya, do you understand?
Do you know what it's like
To be a bridge building man?

Rick Price, Heaven Knows
Hey Baby
Whats gotten into me
never used to feel this way
i never needed someone to belong to
someone to belong to me
now i sit here in the darkness
and i dont know where you are
tell me how'm i gonna face it
has it gotta be so hard
and theres no way in sight that i can get through this night
tell me what do i do
tell me what do i do
not a day goes by
when night and night
i dont think of you
not a day goes by
i dont wonder why
i dont hear from you
so is this good bye ?
what did i do to you baby ?
to make you want to go
what did you leave me that i can hold on to
like i used to hold you
now i sit and watch the sunrise till i dont know where you are
am i ever gonna find you
did i let you go too far
and i dont see no way
i can get through this day
tell me what do i do
tell me what do i do
not a day goes by
when night and night
i dont think of you
not a day goes by
i dont wonder why
i dont hear from you
so is this good bye ?
each step i take
feels like im losing ground
im lost without you baby
so take me down
come back around
dont make me walk through this night alone
not a day goes by
when night and night
i dont think of you
not a day goes by
i dont wonder why
i dont hear from you
so is this good bye ?
not a day goes by
when night and night
i dont think of you
not a day goes by
i dont wonder why
i dont hear from you
so is this good bye ?
Whats gotten into me
never used to feel this way
i never needed someone to belong to
someone to belong to me
now i sit here in the darkness
and i dont know where you are
tell me how'm i gonna face it
has it gotta be so hard
and theres no way in sight that i can get through this night
tell me what do i do
tell me what do i do
not a day goes by
when night and night
i dont think of you
not a day goes by
i dont wonder why
i dont hear from you
so is this good bye ?
what did i do to you baby ?
to make you want to go
what did you leave me that i can hold on to
like i used to hold you
now i sit and watch the sunrise till i dont know where you are
am i ever gonna find you
did i let you go too far
and i dont see no way
i can get through this day
tell me what do i do

Rick Price, Church On Fire Lyrics
The room was dark
The moon was shining bright
I held you and we kissed goodnight
Then through the window
That ungodly light
Was I asleep were you awake
Did I arrive just too late
Is there something you're not saying
I should know
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
The saints and sinners in the stained glass
They whisper to me as I pass
There's nothing in this world that lasts
Did someone toss a match away
A careless gesture, who can say
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
A shout came from the second floor
And someone ran out the back door
Could he have been the parish priest
A worshipper trapped in the heat
Or was he the one who set the flames to burn
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
The moon was shining bright
I held you and we kissed goodnight
Then through the window
That ungodly light
Was I asleep were you awake
Did I arrive just too late
Is there something you're not saying
I should know
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
The saints and sinners in the stained glass
They whisper to me as I pass
There's nothing in this world that lasts
Did someone toss a match away
A careless gesture, who can say
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
A shout came from the second floor
And someone ran out the back door
Could he have been the parish priest
A worshipper trapped in the heat
Or was he the one who set the flames to burn
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
Rick Price, A House Divided Lyrics
Discontent is in the air
I feel it in my bones
Chills me to the deepest reaches
Of my weary soul
You're always goin' your way
Following you heart
I wish you could be true to yourself
Without tearing us apart
A house divided will not stand
Everybody knows
A house divided will not stand
When the cold wind blows
Nothing's ever black and white
There is no right or wrong
But we just can't go on this way
No not for very long
Somewhere out across the sky
Over the horizon
Beyond the heights of the great divide
A mighty storm is rising
I feel it in my bones
Chills me to the deepest reaches
Of my weary soul
You're always goin' your way
Following you heart
I wish you could be true to yourself
Without tearing us apart
A house divided will not stand
Everybody knows
A house divided will not stand
When the cold wind blows
Nothing's ever black and white
There is no right or wrong
But we just can't go on this way
No not for very long
Somewhere out across the sky
Over the horizon
Beyond the heights of the great divide
A mighty storm is rising

Rick Price, Heaven Knows
She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know
And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
CHORUS
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
CHORUS
Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know
And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger, every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
CHORUS
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
CHORUS
Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
