Come sit by my fire and
the warmth that it brings
as I play my guitar
and my voice finds its wings
singing notes that go back
to Neanderthal days
as the flames lick the logs
till they all fade away...
Then we'll light up some
candles and slip off to bed
where dreams of eternity
dance in our heads
till we rise in the morning
feeling better than dead
it's a given.....
Chorus
We're but kindling that help
feed God's eternal flame
there were many before us
who wound up the same
from the womb to the tomb
sparks to ashes to dust
it's a duty from birth
that was given to us.
So you burn like a torch
holding all your dreams high
lighting the way for
those struggling
mankind's fireflies....
or you lounge at the bottom
satisfied to be embers
till you burn out
becoming someone
no one ever remembers
Chorus
We're but kindling that help
feed God's eternal flame
there were many begfore us
who wound up the same
from the womb to the tomb
sparks to ashes to dust
it's a duty from birth
that was given to us.
Will you find a perfect match
or just settle for less
choosing lust, chasing greed
losing your happiness
love requires much more
than a spark that expires
it feeds on true passion
that refuses to tire....
It starts when we're wee
tiny twigs set aflame
with a wanmth
shared by families
that will never bring pain
it's taught by example
never hate or defame
bringing shame as inhertiance
to your family name...
Chorus
We are but kindling that help
feed God's eternal flame
there were many begfore us
who wound up the same
from the womb to the tomb
sparks to ashes to dust
it's a duty from birth
that was given to us.
it's a duty from birth
that was given to us.........
