A boy grows and one day
Sets out alone on the highway
More to see what's before him
Than to run away
But years of looking forward
And heading for the door
Could leave a mark on any man
And leave him wanting more
But the feeling that surrounds me
Brings the heart back from the stone
And shines a light that lets me see
To cross the seven bridges home
Now life's sometimes a battle
You just try to get what you're after
A world full of stories
You won't live to tell
But going on is all we know
Like rivers always flow
It seems the years just fly right past
While the days go by so slow
But the feeling that surrounds me
Brings the heart back from the stone
And shines a light that lets me see
To cross the seven bridges home
And it goes like this forever
So don't ever feel alone
The same old road that brought you here
Crosses seven bridges home
A man knows that one day
There's always an end to the highway
He knows what's before him
He won't run away
Because "away" is never far enough
And freedom's just a bluff
Still from somewhere down deep inside
Comes the peace you'd only dreamed of
But the feeling that surrounds me
Brings the heart back from the stone
And shines a light that lets me see
To cross the seven bridges home
And it goes like this forever
So don't ever feel alone
The same old road that brought you here
Crosses seven bridges home
The same old road that brought you here
Crosses seven bridges home
