Bridges Where Fire Stood

I am a gentle soul I offer you my words of gold Even though you take for granted And leave me out here stranded But I forgive, I let it go Cleansing my heart of the heavy load The bridge may burn, the past may sting But I'll keep walking through everything There's a light in the ashes, a voice in the flames Calling me forward, forgetting the pain I'm building bridges where the fire once stood Mending the scars, turning bad to good It's in my nature to heal and grow Through heartache's rivers, I let love flow I am a builder, I lay the stone Learning the patterns to call my own I nurture the lost, guide them back home Even when it leaves me feeling alone For every burden that I might bear There's peace in knowing I've been there To find myself in what I give To rise again, to truly live There's a strength in the giving, a truth in the fall Finding myself when I've given my all I'm building bridges where the fire once stood Mending the scars, turning bad to good It's in my nature to heal and grow Through heartache's rivers, I let love flow I am a hero, though I might not seem To others, I've been their silent dream If I can save just one lost soul I'll save myself, and I'll be whole It's not for glory, it's not for fame It's for the fire that feeds my flame I'm building bridges where the fire once stood Mending the scars, turning bad to good Through the rivers of pain, the winds of change I'm finding myself, though the road feels strange It's in my nature to heal and grow Through heartache's rivers, I let love flow I'm building bridges where the fire once stood Healing my soul, and letting it live
