Natural Bridge

Natural Bridge
by Adrienne Young (Autumn 2006)
Feel like I been riding for a thousand years
Down this lonesome road and bitter trail of tears
But I gotta keep on
Gotta be strong
Emptied out this vessel in the desert sand
It was filled up so many things I couldn't understand
Yeah I did a lot wrong trying to belong
What makes you do wrong when you want to belong

Damn this dead end road
Down again I go
There's a different path that I can see
And it's waiting for me

It's a natural bridge that I'll be crossing over
A simple high green ridge to bonny fields of clover
And there my soul will dance again with my true love and all my kin
The greatest privilege to cross a natural bridge

Underneath the trees I breathe the breezes in
I know it's time to start and I know where to begin
I got to move on kick back and roll on

Damn this dead end road
Down again I go
There's a new path that I can see
And it's waiting for me

It's a natural bridge that I'll be crossing over
A simple high green ridge to bonny fields of clover
And there my soul will dance again with my true love and all my friends
The greatest privilege to cross a natural bridge

Feel like I been ridin for a thousand years
Down this lonesome road and bitter trail of tears
But I gotta keep on
I am strong
