Lyrics
Let the Fire Grow
I've been workin and dreamin, the embers to flame.
Haunted and crazy, I keep hearing my name.
Climbing this mountain getting dirty and cold.
I let the fire grow, I let the fire grow.
But I'm scared of this fire I hold in my hands.
I could burn down the house, crush the life that I have.
But there's a hunger in me that my Soul needs to feed.
I let the fire grow, I let the fire grow.
I'm not gonna lie down, I've got too much to say.
There's a voice in my heart and it won't go away.
I pick myself up and fake to the right.
I'm gonna play on and play on, play into the night.
As far as I can go, I'm gonna let the fire grow.
I look in the mirror, the face looking back, ?Saying "trust and forgiveness is all the you lack. ?Just clear out the briar, have some faith in yourself,
And let the fire grow.
I'm not gonna lie down, I've got too much to say.
There's a voice in my heart and it won't go away.
I pick myself up and fake to the right.
I'm gonna play on and play on, play into the night.
As far as I can go, I'm gonna let the fire grow.
