Take Me To the Bridge
[SENIOR]
There's a song that you sing together as one
When you know how to finally be free
And you own the world that you see
Just ask him and you shall receive[MINGUS]
There's a song you sing together as one
When you know
How to finally be free
You own the world that you see
To right against wrong
To belong
The song will show you a new world[DYLAN]
You know
And you own
When you learn to sing the song
To fight against wrong
A new world[SENIOR]
Just ask and you shall receive
Just ask him and you shall receive
Take me to the bridge
Over by the river
Dip me in the water
Show me how to be delivered
Teach me how to sing
The bridge, the verse, the chorus
Tell me all the secrets
And show me how to fly[SENIOR]
It starts with a verse on Dean Street
Sometimes things are just how they seem
Can you keep Dean Street
From being a mean street
Make a right
That's right
From Pacific to Atlantic[ENSEMBLE]
Is it real or a dream?
Dean Street
Mean street
That's right
That's right
From Pacific to Atlantic[DYLAN and MINGUS]
And the flying
Flying is for the sky
[MINGUS]
And in Brooklyn the rooftops touch the sky
[DYLAN]
So high
[DYLAN and MINGUS]
That I almost flew away
[ENSEMBLE]
And the bridge that takes you away from Brooklyn
It's shining, shining right there[WOMEN]
Before the chorus
Before the chorus
Before the chorus[MEN]
Before the chorus
Before the chorus
Before the chorus[WOMEN]
Take me to the bridge
Over by the river
Dip me in the water
Show me how to be delivered
Teach me how to sing
The bridge, the verse, the chorus
Tell me all the secrets
And show me how to fly[MEN]
Ah

And I feel like I might be Superman
I can come and save you
'Cause now I can fly
