How did I ever get over, mountains so high
Light at the end of the tunnel, leads us into night
When I got to my station, praying for grace
Fate got impatient and time would not wait
Oh, time would not wait

All my bridges burnin' up ahead
Ain't no use in turnin' around instead

Out of mere desire, each chance I take
Life's just a walk on the wire
Time will not wait

All my bridges burnin' up ahead
Ain't no use in turnin' around instead

I walk the line, through warning signs
But I won't look back, cos I'm takin' steps
And I'm marking tmie

Wading deep in the water, trying to keep still
Every son and daughter, climbin' up life's hill
Out of mere desire, each chance I take
Life's just a walk on the wire
Time will not wait

Oh, time will not wait
Oh, time will not wait
Oh, time will not wait

All my bridges burnin' up ahead
Ain't no use in turnin'around instead

See the bridges burnin'
See the Burnin' Bridges
