[Verse 1]
Raindrops on my roof, yeah
And my house isn't waterproof
Sunshine on my bed, yeah
There's no pillow where my head
All I can stand to stick to a letter, yeah
Life seems to be much better
Like an old man on the corner, yeah
Who nobody gives a damn
There's no food inside my fridge, yeah
But on the stove there's some corn meal porridge
[Chorus]
Just as long as I keep my courage
He will let me cross over the bridge
(Cross over) Over the bridge
(Cross over)
Over the bridge, over the bridge, over the bridge yeah
(Cross over) He will let me cross the bridge
(Cross over)
[Verse 2]
To be livin' in a little village
Under-raised, underprivileged
People wanna receive but they don't wanna give
In the village where I live
[Chorus]
Just as long as I keep my courage
He will let me cross the bridge
(Cross over) Over the bridge
(Cross over)
Over the bridge, over the bridge, over the bridge yeah
(Cross over) He will let me cross the bridge
(Cross over)
[Verse 3]
Raindrops on my roof, yeah
And my house isn't waterproof
Sunshine on my bed, yeah
There's no pillow where my head, oh no
All I can stand to stick to a letter, yeah
Life seems to be much better, yeah
Like an old man on the corner, yeah
Who nobody gives a damn
There's no food inside my fridge, yeah
But on the stove there's some corn meal porridge
[Chorus]
Just as long as I keep my courage
He will let me cross the bridge
(Cross over) Over the bridge
(Cross over)
