Broken Bridges
Navigating Life's Broken Bridges with Lindsey Haun
Lyrics
There are bridges on life?s highway
Life presents challenges or obstacles symbolized as bridges on life's journey.
But we never see them there
People often overlook or fail to recognize these challenges in life.
Some cross troubled waters
Some challenges involve difficulties or hardships, akin to troubled waters.
And some don't go nowhere
Not all challenges lead to progress; some are unproductive or lead nowhere.
Some you wouldn't step on
Some challenges are morally questionable or undesirable.
If you're trying to save your soul
Avoiding certain challenges may be essential for preserving one's morality or integrity.
One comes with a keeper
Some challenges come with accountability or consequences.
When it?s time to pay the toll
Confronting certain challenges requires payment or sacrifice.
Some aren't meant to last forever
Not all challenges are enduring; some are temporary or fleeting.
Some are made of stone
Some challenges are strong and resilient.
Some are meant to cross together
Some challenges are meant to be faced and overcome together with others.
Some you go alone
Some challenges must be faced alone without external support.
Some the slightest wind can send them
Certain challenges are delicate and easily disrupted.
Crashing to the ground
Even a small disturbance can cause certain challenges to fail or collapse.
I set our bridge on fire
The speaker has intentionally damaged a significant relationship or connection.
But I could not burn it down
Despite efforts to harm the connection, it remains intact.
And here I am
The speaker expresses a desire for forgiveness for their actions.
Praying for forgiveness
Acknowledging the need for forgiveness and redemption.
And I can see you
The speaker sees the person they have harmed standing on the opposite side.
Standing on the other side
The other person is separated, perhaps emotionally or figuratively.
And here I go
The speaker is embarking on a challenging journey or task.
Baby, it?s a heavy load
The journey is burdensome or emotionally weighty.
And I have crossed
Reflecting on overcoming past challenges or difficulties.
Some broken bridges in my time
The speaker has faced and conquered challenges in their past.
Now here I am
Reiteration of the speaker's plea for forgiveness.
Praying for forgiveness
Continued acknowledgment of the need for forgiveness and redemption.
I can see you
Revisiting the image of the separated individual on the other side.
Standing on the other side
Emphasizing the emotional or symbolic distance between the speaker and the other person.
Here I go
Repetition of the speaker's embarkation on a challenging journey.
And buddy, it?s a heavy load
Highlighting the weightiness of the current journey or challenge.
But I have crossed
Reflecting on successfully navigating through previous broken connections or challenges.
Some broken bridges in my time
The speaker acknowledges overcoming challenges in the past.
'Cause I have crossed
Reiteration of the speaker's history of overcoming broken connections or challenges.
Some broken bridges in my time
A final acknowledgment of facing and overcoming challenges in the speaker's life.
