LYRICS

I hear an echo of the distant past
An orchestra band is performing live
At an open-air gig in Victoria Park

I see old friends, people on the grass
Listening to their songs, children and adults alike
Enjoy the outdoors and the music spark

We make friends with mother Nature
And ask forgiveness for our failures
We play music it's in our nature
To build bridges between us and the future

Music for bridges
Walk the song with us
Music for bridges
And sing along with us

I hear an echo of the distant past
A girl's voice transports me all the way back
At the same crossing on the cycle path

I see an old friend traveling on his bike
Carrying his heavy burden and illness unlike
All the children running around having a blast

We make peace with mother Nature
And learn something from our failures
We perform live it's in our nature
To build bridges between us and the future

Music for bridges
Live the song with us
Music for bridges
And cycle along with us

I hear an echo of the distant past
A guitar duo plays along the cycle path
Under a dark tunnel where I once passed

I see my younger self on a folding bike
Through a wide lens, down memory line
Acting crazy, like this boy fiddling, his body on the ground

We live in rhythm with mother nature
And laugh out loud at our failures
We make music it's in our nature
To build bridges between us and the future

Music for bridges
Film the song with us
Music for bridges
And join along with us

I hear an echo of the distant past
A musical trio plays by the riverside
Under a fallen bridge the soundtrack of my life

I see strangers and old friends alike
By a Water of Leith, in the woodland
Listening to my song and once again I feel alive
