The Bridge

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

There’s a silence where the fault lines run

Where stories split and hearts come undone

But I’ve seen the light between the cracks

And I won’t turn my back

Pre-Chorus

You say the chasm’s too wide to cross

But I’ve walked with ghosts and carried loss

Still I rise, still I reach

Still I speak

Chorus

You can stand in the divide

And still choose to be the bridge

Hold the weight of both sides

And still offer love to live

Let the winds howl, let the ground shake

I’ll be the vow no fear can break

You can stand in the divide

And still choose to be the bridge

Verse 2

I’ve heard the thunder of righteous rage

And the hush of a soul disengaged

But truth is more than taking sides

It’s the grace to unify

Bridge

Stone by stone, word by word

We build what’s never been heard

From the ache, from the flame

We rise and rename

Final Chorus

You can stand in the divide

And still choose to be the bridge

Not for glory, not for pride

But for every soul that lives

Let the night fall, let the doubt scream

I’ll be the thread that holds the dream

You can stand in the divide

And still choose to be the bridge
