Bump in the Road
by @karahermann
Liner Notes
A quick take from last night.
I wrote the initial chorus and verse about a month ago during a really stressful day and a long walk, I sat on a bench on the pathway and wrote it out. It is nice to sit down and finish it for a complete song.

Lyrics
V1: Deep breath Sooth your soul Stand back It all unfolds Look up Eyes to the sky There’s no limit You can fly
Chorus I know it feels like it’s all too much A lot to manage, gets a little rough But that’s the way life goes Just a little bump in the road
V2: Drowning in your sea of fears You’re not alone, look right here Reach out and take my hand You got this I understand
Bridge: It just goes on and on and on from where you stand But I can see it stops around the bend Just put one foot in front of the other You’ve got what it takes To get through
V1 Chorus Outro Look Up Look Up It’s just a bump in the road

Thanks so much for the feedback, @spinhead! I almost always write literally, I am trying to write more in the subtext. It's a work in progress :)

This is wonderful, and the lyrics are so positive! I love the rhythmic thump, and the chorus flows beautifully. I also love the lyrics in the bridge. I guess that means I love it all!

It is fun to watch you play and sing. Some songs should live in subtext, but today, where I am, I needed this pure obvious encouraging song.
Your playing and singing are wonderful, but of course, the lyrics are what makes this a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing this gem.
