The Flame
December 28, 2005
A lady saw the light in my eyes
And spoke these words to me
She said “I can see a fire inside
Burning a path to the city
You must not fear this flame
Follow it right to the end
Because if you ever turn back
It will never burn again.”
So here I stand alone Left my band of friends behind I had to venture out on my own To see what I could find I have to ask myself many times If the flame a reality? A man with a reachable goal or just a fool Which will I be?
What it takes Is what I need I want it now more than ever before I see the path Don’t know where it leads And I’m so afraid to open the door
I know time is whirling by me And I sit here like a stone And more than once I’ve felt the urge To just pack up and go home
But I know I won’t give up I’ll just keep up pushing on Cause you know it’s easy to say you’re right But damn hard to admit you’re wrong
I live my life I hear my dream And forever in my head it’s howling I want you to know What I mean I won’t turn back the flame I’m following
So here I stand alone Left my band of friends behind I had to venture out on my own To see what I could find I have to ask myself many times If the flame a reality? A man with a reachable goal or just a fool Which will I be?
What it takes Is what I need I want it now more than ever before I see the path Don’t know where it leads And I’m so afraid to open the door
I know time is whirling by me And I sit here like a stone And more than once I’ve felt the urge To just pack up and go home
But I know I won’t give up I’ll just keep up pushing on Cause you know it’s easy to say you’re right But damn hard to admit you’re wrong
I live my life I hear my dream And forever in my head it’s howling I want you to know What I mean I won’t turn back the flame I’m following
