I wake with a question tripping on my tongue:
Will I burn that bridge today?
And every night before I close my eyes:
I could blow them all away
I'm sorry dad but I won't burn!
It's your bridge today…
This time, it's mine!
I'm off on my lonely way
What's left, say yes!
Though you taught me how to pray
Walking alone through my new island home
All my blue skies turned to grey
But I'll build a throne from all these broken stones
Whisper as each course I lay
I'm sorry dad but I won't burn!
Brother I'm sad but it's your turn
I have to let you go
It hurts worse than you know
Give a kiss to my mother...
