Bridge Included (dot CA)

[Verse 1]
Down by the Wasi where the tamaracks lean,
Dad left a toolbox, a map and a dream.
Acres and stories on either side,
But the river between us ran cold and wide.

[Chorus]
Bridge included — that’s the promise I made,
Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade.
If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew,
Bridge included — I’ll carry you through.

[Verse 2]
Shop lights glowing on a frosty night,
Duplex windows throwing warm yellow light.
Papers say “ready,” but no rock’s been moved,
Unopened pit with a future to prove.

[Chorus]
Bridge included — that’s the promise I made,
Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade.
If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew,
Bridge included — I’ll carry you through.

[Verse 3]
Found a sleeping giant, rail-grade and true,
Seventy feet of work left to do.
Measure twice, mark lines in the snow,
Set her on footings and watch dreams grow.

[Chorus]
Bridge included — that’s the promise I made,
Steel bones waiting in the grass and shade.
If you’re buying the dirt and the road I drew,
Bridge included — I’ll carry you through.

[Chorus — tag last line]
Bridge included — I’ll carry you through.
