Bridge to Terabithia (50s)
The track opens with crisp electric guitar stabs and upright bass, locked with restrained snare and brushed hi-hats. Four-part vocal harmonies lead, tight and bright, while handclaps punctuate choruses. Mid-song, a vocal ‘ba-doo-wop’ bridge features intricate call-and-response counterpoints.

Lyrics
For some you were real,
For me you were imaginary
Dying alone was just too scary,
So I came up with you.
Bridge
Standing there by the shelf,
I am hanging by myself
And with you.
Chorus:
Hold my hand,
Let's cross the bridge,
Cross the Bridge to Terabithia,
Where creatures sing,
Where you are Queen,
And I am King.
Days of constant rumination,
And lifelong alienation,
In you I find my peace,
But you can't hear my pleas.
I keep my mind open,
But I am just broken,
Getting my life back together,
To be with you forever.
Chorus:
Hold my hand,
Let's cross the bridge,
Cross the Bridge to Terabithia,
Where creatures sing,
Where you are Queen,
And I am King.
Bridge
See me in the backwoods,
Just one more time,
Just one more time,
Hold my hand,
Hold me tight.
Chorus/Outro:
Hold my hand,
Let's cross the bridge,
Cross the Bridge to Terabithia,
Where creatures sing,
Where you are Queen,
And I am King.
