    I built a bridge across darkness

    I built a bridge out of nowhere,
    across nothingness and wondered
    if there would be something on the other side.
    I built a bridge out of fog,
    across darkness and hoped that
    there would be light on the other side.
    I built a bridge out of despair,
    across oblivion and knew that
    there would be hope on the other side.
    I built a bridge out of hell,
    across chaos and trusted that
    there would be strength on the other side.
    I built a bridge out of hell,
    across terror and it was a good bridge,
    a strong bridge,
    a beautiful bridge.
    It was a bridge I built myself,
    with only my hands for tools,
    my obstinacy for supports,
    my faith for spans,
    and my blood for rivets.
    I built a bridge,
    and crossed it,
    but there was no one there to meet me on the other side.
