lyrics

Does time heal wounds or does time toughen skin?
Either way time is theft.
It steals perspective from the past
lending it to the future and providing comfort
for the soul that times of trouble will pass.

cowardice and forgiveness
look the same at a distance
Are you afraid to stand up to one’s shortcomings
or forgiving injustice. Are you afraid of knowing the difference?
Are you afraid you will make the wrong decision?

My hands outstretched in front of me
my fingers grip the dirt to continue the forward path
my feet sink deep into the earth
they root me on the heel of a well worn road
the present is a bridge between past and future lives
I am a bridge
I am a bridge
I lend the past to future decisions

WE CAN NOT GO BACK
we need a new path forward
