lyrics

Bump in the Road
By Amber Lee Baker

Through the deep channels of undertows and muddy waters
Lessons have seeped into our bones
Gifts were forgotten and people taken hostage
By passions and day dreams that left us alone

In this isolation tank the pictures and the prophesies
Brought for the years of each of our fears
On this microscopic plank a mirror and a puff of smoke
Kept us from seeing the path that was dear

But I stand strong in the presence of this challenge
I accept the balance of the knowledge
This is only a bump in the road
This is only a healing to encode

Through the dark winter of simple pleasures and drastic measures
Woolen wrapped dreams have come undone
Light shone in taverns illuminating caverns
Of issues and ideas we forgot with fun

On this sailing wayward ship a siren song and starry night
Blinded our eyes to the rocks in our sight
On this pre determined trip, a package in a rope held tight
Opened and revealed the surprise snake bite

Through the blackberries and vines that catch the hopes we carry
Down the rabbit hatch, briar patch, path
Life is mysterious and love made us curious
Though fate had the knowledge it never would last

On your way, you’ve said goodbye, we’ve got separate stars to shine
There’ll be a day, when I’ll stop crying
Keep the faith and don’t deny, I know my heart will mend in time
It will be safe to keep on trying
