Fire

Father, where am I going
Down this path of snakes and stones
With no certainty and no knowing
And all my days alone

Oh mother, why don’t you help me
To see that light that shines
So clearly for so many others
But can’t be seen with these eyes

CHORUS:
Lift me up, take me higher
Fill my heart with your fire

Oh sister, can you hear me
Or do I sing in vain
Tell me that you understand me
And help me hold my pain

Oh brother, can you hold me up
When all my strength is gone
Push me a little further
And tell me, tell me to go on

REPEAT CHORUS

Lift me higher, fill my fire (x2)

Lift me up and take me higher
Fill my heart with your fire
