Caught in between the earth and the sky,
We choose to live and we choose to die,
It's a matter of time and it's a matter of heart,
Can we cut the past and make a brand new start?

When the vision dims and I grow weak, I see the past as my retreat,
There's a bridge that joins the old and new,
Now I know what I must do.

Straight ahead, nothing left behind me,
Straight ahead, looking straight ahead,
Straight ahead, burning light reminds me,
Straight ahead, that the past is dead.

Like a flame that flickers in the night, those burning bridges give me light,
The world no longer holds me down,
The race is on, and I'm gaining ground.

Straight ahead, nothing left behind me,
Straight ahead, looking straight ahead,
Straight ahead, burning light reminds me,
Straight ahead, that the past is dead.

Has it always been this way to you?
A dream that never quite comes true,
Don't give up; it's not too late,
Follow him for Heaven's sake.

I can feel his blood as it flows through me; it drives me on when I grow weak,
And the burning bridge that used to be has now become my victory.

Straight ahead, nothing left behind me,
Straight ahead, looking straight ahead,
Straight ahead, burning light reminds me,
Straight ahead, that the past is dead.

Like a flame that flickers in the night, those burning bridges give me light,
The world no longer holds me down,
The race is on, and I'm gaining ground.

Straight ahead, nothing left behind me,
Straight ahead, looking straight ahead,
Straight ahead, burning light reminds me,
Straight ahead, that the past is dead.

Burning bridges give me light,
Burning bridges give me light,
Burning bridges give me light,
Burning bridges give me light,
