Bridges

Story Behind The Song

oh my, that's a long-winded answer... I wrote it in March of 2016, and it was a fast and furious writing session - a song that needed to come out for my own healing. Without being too literal, let's just say that sometimes you realize that you don't want to turn back, or look back on things you've been through, and so you burn the philosophical bridges of life, and it's not always even a choice. We are always moving forward, despite shortfalls, set backs, and unexpected trials... sometimes it feels like we aren't, but it's an illusion.

Changes are not always easy. Some doors close in life, others open... Some bridges you cross more than once in your life, others you burn. C'est la vie.

Lyrics

BRIDGES - by Sohayla Smith (copyright 2016)

Sometimes bridges
get washed away in the flood
seems you can't go backwards
even if you'd want
they say there's always a reason
a season for every turn
but who are they anyway
and why's it their concern

Some days tall trees
bend at the mercy of the wind
seems they're almost praying
gettin' down on both limbs
if there's always a reason
tell me why do trees
bend to their knees
as if they're begging for some deep forgiveness
hmm...

Some things just don't belong
though we try to make 'em fit
like an old wooden puzzle
a little warped and a little chipped
they say there's always a reason
so tell me why am i
always one piece shy
hmm...

Sometimes bridges
get washed away in the flood
seems you can't go backwards
even if you'd want.
