lyrics

There’s no need to worry,
No need to be afraid,
‘Cause fire doesn’t always burn
Sometimes it sustains.

Tattered clothes with holes that show
Scars from battles waged.
Is that the smoke that fills your eyes
From old and darkened days?

Time has carried on with you
It’s taking you away.
Don’t let the sparks fade into ash
Blackened earth and clay;

Breathe your flame into me.

Tingling lips await your voice
Words forever caged;
They resonate in silent space
Longing to be saved.

Weathered eyes and tired smile
Clearing through the haze.
I’ll carry you through broken glass,
Anything it takes.

This is what you know to do -
Quell destructive flames.
Don’t fight the fire that gives you warmth
This one can’t be tamed.

Breathe your flame into me
There’s still more to the story…

There’s no need to worry,
No need to be afraid,
‘Cause fire doesn’t always burn
Sometimes it sustains.
