ONCE UPON A BRIDGE (UMA VEZ NUMA PONTE)
Uma vez numa Ponte – Waiting for the Limo,
Uma vez numa Ponte – River flowing fast and wide,
Uma vez numa Ponte – Lethal belt around his waist,
He watched as the young girl – Came running to his side.
Is this just another scare – Frightened people everywhere,
We’ll talk – and let the fear go by – Find a silver lining in the sky
​
Uma vez numa Ponte – With his arms around her,
They looked so deeply – Into each other’s eyes,
Uma vez numa Ponte – Waiting for the Limo,
He knew at that moment – It was time to decide.
Is this just another scare – Frightened people everywhere,
Words might sting but leave their mark – Til hope and joy replace the dark.
​
Uma vez numa Ponte – Waiting for the Limo,
The man in the Limo – Smiled as he passed by,
Uma vez numa Ponte – Goodbye to all explosives,
Flung lethal belt from off the bridge –In the water deep will lie.
Is this just another scare – Frightened people everywhere,
Spears and arrows guns and bombs – Only kill our finest sons.
​
Sadly, this story – Must have a tragic ending,
The young girl’s body – Neath the bridge came floating by,
Filled with a great anger – Lethal belt round his waist,
Shook hands with his commander –Pressed the button – They both die.
The innocent must pay the price – Whilst the evil men just roll the dice,
Justice in the end prevails – Terrorism always fails.
​
So listen all you young ones – Who may also seek martyrdom,
Beauty and love – Is the World’s true heritage,
Uma vez numa Ponte – Is where he found and lost his true love,
You might find it also – Just standing on a bridge.
The brilliant paranormal light will glow – and everyone on Earth will know,
Tis time to hold each other’s hand – love hope and joy will rule the land.
