Barriers to Bridges

G Woke up in the house on the hill in Green…

D Maine morning fog, but the coffee’s strong and clean…

Em Twenty men under one roof, chasing down the dream…

C From the bottle to the barn, learning what it means…

G Town Farm calls at dawn, boots on frozen ground…

D Shovels in our hands, turning life around…

Em We were walls of stone, cracked and falling down…

C Now we’re laying planks where the old ones drowned…

G Barriers to bridges… D one board at a time…

Em From the dark of addiction… to a C sober state of mind…

G In the house in Green… where the D broken come to heal…

Em Working for the Town Farm… C learning how to feel…

G Blue skies over Maine… D washing out the shame…

Em Barriers to bridges… C in Jesus’ name…

G Some of us ran from the law, some from the pain…

D Some just lost the fight when the needle called our name…

Em Now we mend the fences, haul the hay at noon…

C Sweat on our foreheads like a gospel tune…

Em The stream runs cold beneath the wood we lay…

C Carrying yesterday’s wreckage far away…

G Hand to hand we pass the hammer down…

D No more burning bridges… we’re claiming solid ground…

G Barriers to bridges… D one prayer at a time…

Em Hearts wide open now in this C northern clime…

G Men in recovery… D standing tall and free…

Em Town Farm brothers… C this is our testimony…

G Blue skies over Maine… D forever we’ll remain…

Em Barriers to bridges… C thank God for the change…

Mmm… G In Green, Maine… we’re D crossing over…

Em Barriers to bridges… C yeah. lol was a
