Burning Flame

the reason i came here
is unknown to me
i'm just one in 5 billion
a little fish in the sea
 
the woman who loves me
the son with my name
i'm always surprised
by the burning flame
 
some days i stray
more than i should
i get cold inside
need to chop some wood
 
gotta go to the alter
find a candle to light
hit my knees for a while
fan the embers inside
 
burning flame
burning flame
in every life it's the same
from the womb to the grave
burning flame
burning flame
 
when it's winter in the heart
 nothing but a frozen pond
and desire is a memory
hold on hold on hold on
 
"sometimes it's all we can do"
said a woman that i know
her husband left her with the kids
a norther howlin in her soul
 
burning flame
burning flame
in every life it's the same
from the womb to the grave
burning flame
burning flame
 
got a text from a faithful friend
said he prayed for me last night
i replied with gratitude
it stoked the flame to fight the fight
