Covered Bridge

So you are sheltered for a while
From rain, hail or storm
But you cannot see the sun
Until you move on

Sounds echo under the bridge
You hear your own voice
If you want to hear others
You need to make the choice

Stay covered, stay protected
Wrapped in a cocoon
Or journey under the sky
See the sun, the stars, the moon

Life's journey is all about
Feeling high, feeling low
Walking with friends and family
Or by yourself, going solo

There are tunnels and covered bridges
There are miles of open ground
Experience all, live to the full
And true treasure you'll have found.
