about
Named for the Swinging Bridge over Brush Creek (Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, USA). There are important decision points in life (bridges) – you make a choice and if you cross you can’t go back. But if you do NOT cross, you will never know what you missed. The Swinging Bridge wobbles, creaks, and literally throws you off balance – disturbs your equilibrium. It is disorienting, challenging, and sometimes depressing; but keep your eyes open, grab a handhold, and be opportunistic -- you will ultimately be rewarded. (The insidious 13/8 timing at the end mirrors the unpredictability of the Swinging Bridge.)
lyrics
There will come a time
There will be a choice
There will be a span
You must cross on your own
And you can never ever complain
You will earn acclaim
You will be demeaned
You will be the target of
Burdensome judgment
Turmoil, censure, and blame
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Face your concerns
Confront your distress
All of your deep-felt affliction
Thwart and deflect
Cross with intent
Surmount with resolve
Appease all of your cravings
With gumption and guile
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Fall, fall away
Bend the horizon, but don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away
There will be a choice
There will be a span
You must cross on your own
And you can never ever complain
You will earn acclaim
You will be demeaned
You will be the target of
Burdensome judgment
Turmoil, censure, and blame
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Face your concerns
Confront your distress
All of your deep-felt affliction
Thwart and deflect
Cross with intent
Surmount with resolve
Appease all of your cravings
With gumption and guile
Fall away
Honor perspective, but don’t let it lead you astray
Fall, fall away
Bend the horizon, but don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away
Don’t let it lure you away
