| 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 fin’lly got my first good look…
|
| A little fire was all it too.
|
| An' as the flames grew brighter,
|
| I saw everything that I’d missed.
|
| Once you get your courage up,
|
| You light a match an' your eyes adjust…
|
| It’s amazing what a man can see,
|
| By the light of a burnin' bridge.
|
| An' there were things I saw that I’m not proud of.
|
| Things that I’d do diff’rent now from then.
|
| But when I really make myself get honest,
|
| It’s over and I can’t go back again.
|
| 'Cause I fin’lly got my first good look…
|
| A little fire was all it took.
|
| An' as the flames grew brighter,
|
| I saw everything that I’d missed.
|
| Once you get your courage up,
|
| You light a match an' 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.
