Before it Becomes Too Late

Before it Becomes Too Late

the bridge is falling
isn’t anyone going to repair it?
isn’t anyone going to do a thing?
the building is all smoked out
not a sign of a blanket
not a soul about
the bridge has fallen
and in the houses of the t.v. loving
people are only stalling
they are doing nothing
the bridge is in pieces
now it is too late
what we want is on the other side
but we will have to wait
now we are too late
sometime ago the bridge was falling
and it could have been saved
but instead we hid behind our doors
it has gone and now it is probably too late
it is like we follow a preset pattern
but i do not believe that is the case
i do not believe that is the nature of fate
what we can do, is that we can save
before it becomes too late
