Bridges

Feeling frightened, feeling scared, danger lurking everywhere Feeling helpless, feeling spared, maybe next time I'll be there Feeling sadness, feeling grief sharing the shock and disbelief Feeling hopeful, feeling prepared, thankful others really cared Have we lost respect and honor Danger lurking around each corner A new generation fallen from grace, feeling lost and out of place With no respect for our freedom or life Expressing loneliness, fear and strife Victims fall and passers by cling to loved ones wondering why Values change but faith must prevail We can't live our life controlled by blackmail Choose associations and do what you should Encourage others to always do good Don't get distracted by fame and attention Decisions today have a lasting impression On those who admire us and want to conform Their opinions of us will seem the norm Feeling frightened, feeling scared, danger lurking everywhere Feeling helpless, feeling spared, maybe next time I'll be there Feeling sadness, feeling grief sharing the shock and disbelief Feeling hopeful, feeling prepared, thankful others really cared Give the best in all you do, day by day good deeds accrue Those that need you help the most, are often fast to even boast Deep inside where fear resides, true hope lingers awaiting the tide Where confidence is lacking Never sharing or giving, never even laughing Their tears of fear hidden deep inside Are swiftly and boldly set aside When realizing a friend who really cares Stands by their side and really shares Emotional healing of scars left by others Brings freedom and relief that long has been smothered Feeling frightened, feeling scared, danger lurking everywhere Feeling helpless, feeling spared, maybe next time I'll be there Feeling sadness, feeling grief sharing the shock and disbelief Feeling hopeful, feeling prepared, thankful others really cared
