Learning Faith Letra

a vision leading me
a vision of a bridge
braided out of rope
crossing a great canyon
a bridge made out of hope

I remember looking
off of that cliff
at how the bridge would swing
each time the wind would shift
and yet I felt the need to grip the guardrails in my palms
the need to move forward
the need to carry on

If I had known what it would take
I would have turned and run away
instead of standing here learning faith
learning to let it fly
instead of standing here learning faith
learning to not ask why
and walkin’ til the day I die

You would not believe
how few words there are to say
when you spend your days
moving this way
mostly all I’m thinking
is the next two foot stretch
and mostly all i’m feelin
my toes gripped round the edge

voices say I’m crazy
I know that it’s true
but on the day I close my eyes
and bid this world adieu
I will not pray for heaven or fear the fire below
I will simply be asleep
with nowhere left to go

If I had known what it would take
I would have turned and run away
instead of standing here learning faith
learning to let it fly
instead of standing here learning faith
learning to not ask why
and walkin’ til the day I die
