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
