Don't Burn No Bridges

Don't burn no bridges
That you might have to cross again
Don't burn no bridges
That you might have to cross again

The road to success is mighty, mighty
Mighty long, yes it is
Some people use other people
Use 'em as stepping stones

Now listen
On your way up
You might have your fortune
You might just have your fame
But when you're coming down
Just take a look around
You're going to meet the same folks again

Don't burn no bridges (Don't burn no bridges, no)
That you might have to cross again (Might have to cross again, yeah)

Something else I want to say
Don't think that the rug
Can't be pulled right from under your feet
Be kind to your neighbor
Respect everyone you meet

Now listen
God gives it
But he can take it away
You can fall on your face today
So if you see your friend
You can still speak to them
You never know who you'll need in the end, no

Don't burn no bridges (Don't burn no bridges, no)
That you might have to cross again (Might have to cross again, yeah)
Don't burn no bridges (Don't burn no bridges, no)
That you might have to cross again
Well

God gives it
And he can take it away
You can fall on your face today
So if you see your friend
You can still speak to them
You never know who you'll need in the end, no
