lyrics

I went to the bridge
But the bridge was burnt down
The river was swollen
It covered the ground

To travel ahead
I had to turn around
There were no straight lines
I just go round and round

Oh…

Where does this road lead?
There’s no way to know
I have to get up to speed
Figure the right way to go

I can’t say who I believe
Because I can’t see through
I only hope I will be
Somebody new and improved

Because the fire is alive
It can consume you too
It has the power to be
More than a friend to you

So if your path is obscured
And you don’t know what to do
Believe in Mystery
And let it come to you

And if you come to a bridge
And the bridge is burnt down
And if the river is wide
So you can’t see the ground

Don’t you be afraid
To pick up the thread
To just follow it back
To a place in your head

Now where do you go?
Where do you go from here?
Where to you go?
Where do you go from here?

Where do you go?
Where do you go from here?
Where to you go?
Where do you go from here?
