I connect what was broken I join either side You cross me when ready I swallow my pride I carry your burdens wherever you stride But burn me in anger and your world comes untied They bid for my hand and I dealt what I could A captain once stood on my back in the flood I fill what's been broken in jawbone or wood And some live beneath me misunderstood In music I move you from verse to refrain A river runs under me heavy with rain I'm crossed by the daring abandoned in vain I'm nothing but passage between pleasure and pain
