Story Behind The Song
My friend came up with a guitar riff on the guitar and I was just in one of those deep, writing moods, trying to reach out to somebody. The song literally took about 30 minutes. It was just one of those special moments, and when I got the harmony on the chorus, I knew I was sitting on a hit.

Lyrics
The Bridge
V1: A sinner?s mind?s a haze of fog, a closed-in room with no escape
Without a goal you lose your cause, and without cause you lose your way.
Chorus: It keeps pushing me further out, destruction to my soul
I need to know what it?s about to try and gain control,
My peace of mind is now lost, my flesh cries out for help
Is this the bridge that I might cross to make it through this hell.
V2: So when does a child begin to change, how long before this world catches up?
An innocence that?s turned to hate, a growing mind that?s made corrupt.
Chorus
Bridge: When will water turn to wine? When will the whole world get their sign?
Will a revelation change their hearts? The truth remains the same through time.
The blood of the lamb crossed on my door, pass over me for I want more.
Yet I look around as my brothers fall, holding me down, Lord here me when I call.
