I’ve been burning the bridges To the ghost towns where I used to go Those old ways were far from fulfilling But at least I wasn’t always alone It’s a hard road When you have to kill your old desires It’s a hard road With a cross upon your back Let it be known The strength this life requires Cause it can be oh so cold Being a man on fire No one said it be easy But no one told me it’d be this hard But maybe I was made to be needy To keep my soul from getting too far It’s a hard road When you have to kill your old desires It’s a hard road With a cross upon your back Let it be known The strength this life requires Cause it can be oh so cold Being a man on Fires were made to burn And every scar is a lesson learned Oh how I need you Lord To keep me from the cold Oh keep me from the cold It’s a hard road When you have to kill your old desires It’s a hard road With a cross upon your back Let it be known The strength this life requires Cause it can be oh so cold Being a man on fire
