I spent a truly perfect, late summer evening recently at a Bruce Springsteen concert. The weather was perfect, the show was awesome! Really, truly a night to remember. <\/p>\n<p>During the show, Bruce spent a few minutes remembering band members who were no longer with him, but were very present in Spirit. During the introduction to &#8220;My City of Ruin&#8221; he explained how he wrote this song with Ghosts in mind. Bruce talked about how, when we are young, we are made to be afraid of ghosts. That ghosts are about unknown and frightening things. Things we feared in the dark, and wished would go away. Now, as we are older, we find the ghosts that walk with us to be comforting, familiar, and a rememberance of good times, love, and how precious every moment of life is. How we welcome the ghosts of our past, and welcome them to walk along side us. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy this video of Bruce singing City of Ruins.<\/p>\n<p>Love<\/p>\n<p>Sister Bridget<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1v1esiP0w6c?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lyrics &#8211; <a class=\"zem_slink\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_self\">My City of Ruins<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a blood red circle<br \/>\n<br \/>on the cold dark ground<br \/>\n<br \/>and the rain is falling down<br \/>\n<br \/>The church doors blown open<br \/>\n<br \/>I can hear the organ&#8217;s song<br \/>\n<br \/>But the congregation&#8217;s gone<\/p>\n<p>My city of ruins<br \/>\n<br \/>My city of ruins<\/p>\n<p>Now the sweet veils of mercy<br \/>\n<br \/>drift through the evening trees<br \/>\n<br \/>Young men on the corner<br \/>\n<br \/>like scattered leaves<br \/>\n<br \/>The boarded up windows<br \/>\n<br \/>The hustlers and thieves<br \/>\n<br \/>While my brother&#8217;s down on his knees<\/p>\n<p>My city of ruins<br \/>\n<br \/>My city of ruins<\/p>\n<p>Come on rise up!<br \/>\n<br \/>Come on rise up!<br \/>\n<br \/>Now there&#8217;s tears on the pillow<br \/>\n<br \/>darling where we slept<br \/>\n<br \/>and you took my heart when you left<br \/>\n<br \/>without your sweet kiss<br \/>\n<br \/>my soul is lost, my friend<br \/>\n<br \/>Now tell me how do I begin again?<\/p>\n<p>My city&#8217;s in ruins<br \/>\n<br \/>My city&#8217;s in ruins<\/p>\n<p>Now with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>I pray Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>for the strength Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>for the faith Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>I pray Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>for the strength Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<br \/>\n<br \/>for the faith Lord<br \/>\n<br \/>with these hands<\/p>\n<p>Come on rise up!<br \/>\n<br \/>Come on rise up!<br \/>\n<br \/>Rise up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
