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
