Recovery Bridge

[Debbie]

<center>I've reached this bridge in recovery.
I start to cross, I gaze to the sea.
There's so many on the other side,
Encourage me not to fear the tide.
"Summon strength as you begin.
Be persistent. You won't fall in.
You'll encounter fear and pain.
Look at us. You've so much to gain."
And I've never, no I've never, ever felt like this.
I'm so confused. I can't see my life through the mist.
But, I believe
I believe.

I must seek the will to extend
Myself in love, to be my own friend.
Acting from habit is my own will.
I must seek Him if I am to fill,
This hollow emptiness inside.
A victim of my own false pride.
I must do what I don't want to do,
To seek myself and to seek His truth.
And I've never, no I've never, ever felt like this.
I'm so confused. I can't see my life through the mist,
But, I believe
I believe.

As I walk down this path alone,
I leave behind friends I have known
I miss you now, I can do no more.
I finally step to the other shore.
People greet me, hold out their hand.
"Welcome to your very own land.
It's a land on mental health,
It's the land of emotional wealth."

And I've never, no I've never, ever felt like this.
I'm so confused. I can't see my life through the mist,
But, I believe.
I have Faith.</center>
