He's standing on the bridge
He's been staring over the edge for an hour now
So close yet so far
Only seconds to be destined to his second biggest fear
The river it turns into currents of tears he has cried, these sorrows won't leave him alone
The wind as it howls- it turns into voices they cry, "we're here, don't you leave us alone"

He's standing on the bridge
He's been staring over the edge for two hours now
A masked man approached him, put a gun to his head, said, "give me all you got or you're gonna end up dead!"

But he begged for his life
Said, "please don't make me choose
I have a future and a family
Just too much to lose"

"Oh please" he said again
But when he turned his face
The gunman disappeared
With a wallet in his place

His body hit the water
And the man looks at the ground
The gunman was his brother
He finally cried out loud  

"Oh why would you do this?"
He says with tears down his face
"There's just too much to live for!
Who's gonna take your place!?"

But it's too late, the river won't
Spit him out, it's nature,
But it whispers, "heroes save lives
What about your self?"

He takes a step away
While the sirens take his place
The sun is going down
As he makes his way home
