Overtoun Bridge

Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain.
But you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain.
What do you want? Wealth, happiness or fame?
For one thing, you are extremely talented, But outta that, satisfaction you do not gain.

You are always outgoing, proactive and you are never shy.
But its a false pretense coz You meet each day with a sigh.
Dunno what you're going through, you never complain or cry.
Searching for answers as inside a lil you die.
Don't you know there's "hell" in hello, and "Good" in goodbye.
Don't you know that in the word Believe you will find a "Lie".
There is "Over" in Lover and an "End" in Friend.
An "if" in life, but one day it will never end.
Part of the endless blessings our heavenly father does send.
But none of which convince you, you let yourself break and bend.
Like man's best friend over that Bridge in Overtoun.
The shortest lived ecstasy, suddenly gone.. too soon.

If only I could read minds, if only I could fully understand you.
If only I had the time, if only this distance wasn't a factor too.
If only things could go back to the way they were before.
Just kids, without a care in the world, ever outdoors.
We never wanted to get older, forever young.
Cool breeze against our temples, easing the burn of the sun.
The Constant joy from sunrise to sunset.
But now most times the sun doesn't rise, it just sets.
And I bet.. That is the reason.
Its this change of season.
That brings these changes and thoughts in you.
Makes you doubt everything that is true.

Want proof in God's existence, that proof is all around you.
Still you are ignorant to answers and sources of what's true.
I don't know why you drift to this forced doubt.
Are you dying to know, but afraid to find out?
Things will get bad but don't lose hope.
A ship won't always sink, yours will stay afloat.
I'm afraid of what you think, but relived by what you do.
If everything just sinks, just know that I'll be here for you.
Won't allow you to jump ship, I'll be right here by your side.
I'll always treasure our friendship, in me you can confide.
I have been broken before, but I was fixed by you.
Yeah, You helped me once, so now its my turn to help you.
