Sally's Song
Lyrics by Hannah Bigelow
Music by Johnny Mercier
In shadows deep, where secrets swell,
Your story rises, a tale to tell.
Like the tide, it ebbs and flows
Thoughts are lost, where? no one knows.
Oh, Sally, in your eyes, storms have danced,
Against the surging tides, you've pranced.
From the bridge, to waters deep,
Into the arms of those who keep.
Beneath the surface, where darkness hides,
Your soul fights on, where hope resides.
Misunderstood by the world outside,
Your will stands strong… not denied.
Oh, Sally, with every fall, you've risen,
With every call, you've listened.
From the depths, your mind is drawn,
A renewed light, a strength reborn.
Through the pain, a lesson learned,
In every loss, a victory earned.
Society's gaze, you bravely faced,
In your quest, a truth embraced.
Now, beyond your mind's encase,
You feel at peace in your grace.
Life's music, now yours to lead,
With your melody, a spirit freed.
Oh, Sally, in your tale, a light has shone,
A path unveiled; seeds now sown.
Through the trials, through the night,
You've found your way, into the light.
So, here's to Sally, and your song,
A transit long, a spirit strong.
May your story, filled with pride,
Inspire other souls, to brave the ride.
Note: Hannah Bigelow, Sally's sister inlaw, a singer-song writer, was so inspired after reading Sally's book that she wrote this song.
