In an urban setting, a skyway, catwalk, sky bridge, or skywalk is a type of pedway consisting of an enclosed or covered bridge between two buildings. This protects pedestrians from the weather. These skyways are usually owned by businesses, and are therefore not public spaces (compare with sidewalk). Skyways usually connect on the first few floors above the ground-level floor, though they are sometimes much higher, as in Petronas Towers, SWFC and Kingdom Centre (though this skyway is often referred to as a sky bridge). The space in the buildings connected by skyways is often devoted to retail business, so areas around the skyway may operate as a shopping mall. Non-commercial areas with closely associated buildings, such as university campuses, can often have skyways and/or tunnels connecting buildings.
The world's largest skyway network – Calgary, Alberta's "+15 Walkway" system – has a total length of 16 km (9.9 mi). However, the system is discontinuous, and it does not connect every downtown building. The largest continuous network of skyways – the Minneapolis Skyway System – spans 8 miles (13 km) connecting 69 blocks in downtown Minneapolis.
Be strong!
Today a good friend lost his life
So tragically he payed the price
Today we met reality
And today I live for him and me
Hurting heart this can't be real
Still poisoned from this pain I feel
If you were here your words would heal
And I know what you would say
Lets live
and take these days these days i'll never waste
for these memories lets live our lives for everything
lets take these days these days i'll never waste
for these memories lets live our lives for everything
lets make some right out of this wrong
We are the ones with our lives to lead
no matter who you are we all breathe and we all bleed
but the hardest thing you'll never see
is my heart breaking deep inside of me
Destiny, A life cut short and taken by this
Tragedy, I'll never forget I'll cherish all these
Memories, I don't want to wake up to this
Reality, But when we do lets make life worth it
You will never be alone
You will never be alone
We will never be alone
