city in the afternoon
took away the morning gloom
walk the street down to the corner

there we're standing face to face
I adore you, tell me of fire

summer sun that burns my skin
fearless soul that lies within
let us run fast to the ocean
with your hand in my hand
sweet and bitter emotion

do you remember us crossing the lines
chasing the shadows and reaching our heights
let us be growing let us be new
yes I'm talking to you

give me a reason a song I would sing
pray to the Lord for the joy that he brings
read me a book that will lift spirits higher
tell me of fire

once I was lost deep in the woods
betrayed by my friends being chased by the wolves
crying for help, burning the roof
covering myself with my heart bulletproof

carrying the vision that lives in my soul
meeting my enemy losing control
he made me stronger he lifted me higher
that's who I am now so tell me of fire
