Pages turned, bridges burned, lessons learned...

So this past week I found a cd that I hadn't listened to in awhile - Carrie Underwoods first album. I put it in and it came to this song -it was always a favorite of mine - in fact I think it will be my life's theme song! I know I must have blogged about it before, but not in the recent past, so here it is again! I think the message is so powerful. More for me now than ever. I guess the point of it all is actually learning the lessons! I have the song on my playlist and it is worth listening too!

 I truly am learning to be grateful for everything - even the heartbreaks and trials, for I am learning that I may not know what is in store for me, but my Heavenly Father does and he is helping me to experience the things I need to grow and be ready for what is in store. So here is to a thankful heart and the lessons learned!

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings.
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I could not undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again.
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,

Lessons learned.

[CHORUS:]

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,

Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,

Every change, life has thrown me,

I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,

I'm grateful, for every scar,

Some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,

Some chances I just threw away,

Some roads,

I never should've taken,

Been some signs I didn't see,

Hearts that I hurt needlessly,

Some wounds,

That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,

But it don't make no difference,

The past can't be rewritten,

You get the life you're given,

Oh, some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were,

Lessons learned.

[CHORUS:]

And all the things that break you,

All the things that make you strong,

You can't change the past,

Cause it's gone,

And you just gotta move on,

Because it's all,

Lessons learned.

[CHORUS:]

From every tear that had to fall from my eyes,

From everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,

From every change, life has thrown me,

I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,

I'm grateful, for every scar.

Some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were lessons learned,

Oh, some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were lessons learned,

Lessons learned.
