(Chorus)
Break out of the dark land you live in
Set the bridge on fire
Cross over the deep and troubled water
Set the bridge on fire

Take a long hard look all around you
Is this the Promised Land
At first it always seems so alluring
But see the trouble you're in
Storm clouds are building
There's a shadow across your heart
Hard thunder rolling
Why would you ever choose to go this way again?

(Chorus)

You've made this journey over and over
It's got to come to an end
Now you stand at the bridge of decision
Between two different lands
Let the Spirit guide you
He'll give you strength to step across
Then burn the bridge behind you
So you'll never ever go that way again

(Double chorus)
Break out of the dark land you live in
Set the bridge on fire
Cross over the deep troubled water
Set the bridge on fire
Stand up for the truth you believe in
It is a higher power
Strike back with the bright torch of freedom
Set the bridge on fire

(Repeat double chorus)
