Bridge Lyrics by Queensrÿche

Promised Land

1994

[Verse 1]
You called me up on the phone today
Struggling with the right words to say
Time it can change a thing or two
Time has changed the lives of me and you
But you know... it could have been different dad

[Verse 2]
The word brings back a sweet memory
I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree
By my side a distinguished man
Giving me encouragement, telling me I can
And you know... you're not there

[Chorus]
You say, "Son, let's forget the past
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start
Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart
But you know... you never built it dad

[Bridge]
So I sit here through the night
And I write myself to sleep
And time keeps ticking...

[Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo]

[Verse 2]
Time has made you finally realize
Your loneliness and your guilt inside
You're reaching for something you never had
Turning around now you're looking back
And you know... I'm not there

[Chorus]
You say, "Son, let's forget the past
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start
Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart
But you know... you never built it dad

[Outro]
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
