Freedom Bridge

Chenél No.1 I always like this song, but after getting to know the back story of this song, I have a new perspective and appreciation for it.

Shane Larmand James has written a simple, sad song that can't help me but make me think it references a dark time in the singer's life and perhaps thoughts of suicide? Get it out there and let's talk about these things to help support mental health. That's what great songs like this are for.

lyrics

Freedom Bridge

In the morning
Won’t you take my hand
There’s nothing left here
That I understand
With one foot in the jungle
As this new life begins
All I have is you as we walk
Across freedom bridge

Love is golden
Love is strong
It heals what’s broken
Then a child comes along
But somewhere inside
A darkness lived
And you can’t out run yourself
On Freedom bridge

I’d ask forgiveness
But I can’t forgive myself
Because I’ve been tortured
Inside of my own hell
I never wanted to leave
Even now when it’s time to go
I never wanted to say goodbye
And leave you all alone

Dreams will crumble
All things must end
When you lose it all
Is it payment for our sins
If I had a reason
It was left up on that ridge
As I took one last walk
Across freedom bridge
