There is a Fire
There is a will in me that will never go away 
 But there is a fire in me that is so much more. 
 This fire is the light that surrounds me in the darkness- 
 It is the light that makes glass break and owls cry. 
   
 The fire is like the sun but it is so much brighter; so much hotter 
 It’s like someone put gasoline on a lit match. 
 Without this fire what would I be? 
 Without my will that I can do anything where would I be? 
   
 Under normal circumstances my mind is not as it is now 
 But something was awoken inside me today 
 It was something that’s been lost for a while- 
 It was the part of my broken soul that surfaced when I needed someone there for me. 
   
 People say that hope and will they will always break you down 
 They say it’s a hopeless journey to try something on your own 
 But in the end; 
 “Is there a life if you can’t try to live your own?” 
   
 So ask yourselves today, tonight, or tomorrow 
 Ask yourselves if there is hope out there 
 Ask yourselves if you will take the next step 
 Cause’ if you don’t then where is your life in the end? 
 (Where is the fire in you?)
