lyrics

"lessons learned and bridges burned (fire and brimstone)" by Joseph Stone, 2014

Lessons learned and bridges burned
Thresholds crossed and pages turned
I feel like we’re on the verge
These tests of life spring forth new words (c’mon!)

We’re hardened, we’re stubborn, and slow to change
Like a kick from a mule, we can often estrange
Our sisters, our brothers, and significant others
It’s as if we’ve forgotten our baptismal waters

With a call to change, we start to recognize
That within our hearts, human souls reside

C’mon! We’ve got some bridges to mend
C’mon! Our very lives depend on it

Confusing faith as make-believe
Makes us blind to the deeper reality
Forgetting to ask the difficult questions
Thinking we’re right when we’re heading in the wrong direction (c’mon!)

One foot in the frying pan
And the other in the lion’s den
Waiting, waiting is so condescending
To prescribe to someone suffering, suffering

Consequences unintended
What’s been ripped can be mended
What’s been hurt can be healed
What’s been broken can be rebuilt.
