They say that all roads lead to Rome
But he knows they all lead back home
No matter where he'll find himself
The immigrant son
There was a time so long ago
That he felt restless to the bone
So he set out for foreign shores
There had to be much more
Bridges burning in the night
Shadows of his state of mind
Bridges burning in the night
Dancing fire in his eyes so blind
If you would ask him he would say:
"I'm having no regrets today"
He'd look at you, then look away
The immigrant son
Sometimes he lies awake at night
To take account of his life
To struggle with his destiny
The things that might have been, yeah
Bridges burning in the night
Shadows of his state of mind
Bridges burning in the night
Dancing fire in his eyes so blind
And he dreams of that place again
Where the streets would sing to him
And though some walls have crumbled now
The echoes they have known
Still play his heart like a string
Bridges burning in the night
Shadows of his state of mind
Bridges burning in the night
Dancing fire in his eyes so blind
Bridges burning in the night (Bridges burning)
Shadows of his state of mind
Bridges burning in the night (Bridges burning)
Dancing fire in his eyes so blind
