By the light of a burning bridge

Oh, I've been stumbling through the darkness,
Trying to feel the ground beneath my feet.
Afraid of moving 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 burning bridge.

And there were things I saw that I'm not proud of.
Things that I'd do diffrent 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 burning 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 fin'lly 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 burning bridge.
It's amazing what a man can see,
By the light of a burning bridge.

I just really liked this one...and in my opinion I find it true...
