By The Light Of A Burning Bridge

Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness

Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet

Afraid of movin' much in any direction

Stuck where the past and the future meet

But I finally got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

And as the flames grew brighter

I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see

By the light of a burnin' bridge

And there were things I saw that I'm not proud of

Things that I'd do different now from then

But when I really make myself get honest

It's over and I can't go back again

'Cause I finally got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

And as the flames grew brighter

I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see

By the light of a burnin' bridge

It sure is hard to let go

And to leave the past behind

But there ain't no other way

That you can find some peace of mind

When I finally got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

And as the flames grew brighter

I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see

By the light of a burnin' bridge

It's amazing what a man can see

By the light of a burnin' bridge
