The Bridge of Sighs

How often we cross
How often we cross
How often we cross
the bridge of sighs

 you ever been beyond confused
 filled with heartache, bitters and blues
sleep brings nightmares instead of dreams
you spend most of the daylight on your knees

the cell phone don't ring
and a text you don't receive
so alone in this tumult
waves are high on the anxious sea

How often we cross
How often we cross
How often we cross
the bridge of sighs

lately i fall too often
some battles i just can't win
my Beloved seems so very far away
can't He hear me calling for Him?

the dark night lingers in the soul
they say this is when we grow
He wounds us so we we'll crave His dear heart alone
it's a crazy mysterious show

How often we cross
How often we cross
How often we cross
the bridge of sighs

I fly to the virgin
to whom we send up our sighs
she knows the struggles we tell
her prayers are our hope in this fight we fight
she can teach us to love Him, to serve and to trust Him,
she can teach us to love Him so well

as often we cross
as often we cross
as often we cross
the bridge of sighs
