Bit #26: Lessons in Lyrics~Be the Bridge

Little Life Lesson and Bit of Grace 26: Be the bridge for your loved ones

Yesterday, the bit talked about surrounding yourself with cool people; relationships with people that will lift you up, make you feel good about yourself, support you, and add something to your life.

We all need those supportive crutches in our lives and the lyrics from today's song beg you to be that person for a loved one in your life. This week's Lessons in Lyrics features a song I have sung so many times in my life. I will have this familar tune stuck in my head for days now, but what wonderful and calling lyrics they are.

I hope that we can all be the bridge for a loved one in our life as I know that we will need a few bridges laid out for us. Have a great day!

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

By Paul Simon / Sung by Simon & Garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small,

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;

I'm on your side.

When times get rough

And friends just can't be found,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,

When you're on the street,

When evening falls so hard I will comfort you.

I'll take your part.

When darkness comes

And pain is all around,

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,

Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine.

If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind.
