When Love Frees You
I cross the darkest bridge of emotion
A sparrow small fighting a lonely storm
Salt filled traces fall wet in slow motion
To circle my sadness after they form
And lay on the long arch spanned to your eyes
They carry me far from my dim-lit cell
Where I was shackled to my sad disguise
Till' your wondrous love released me from hell
This gift, this treasure, this heartbeat we found
Gives strength to our bridge, so love can begin
And allow this arch to be sacred ground
When the death of sadness frees love again
When my years of pain burned out of control
You built a bridge to the well of my soul
