Lyrics
COMMON FIRE
There are those who wander through the desert
They do not know why they thirst
There are those who hunger for an answer
They do not know that trust must come first
There are those who walk blindly through the darkness
And somehow the light eludes them
Somehow life excludes them
They wait, they simply wait
For someone to lead them
Someone to lead them home
CHORUS:
Stoking the common fire
Dancing like flame in the wind
Like sparks in the night
Combust into flight
When we breathe on the ember
We will remember
Igniting the fire again
There are those who ask questions
They long for direction
They want to know where they should turn
There are those who have fallen or have answered a callin
And they know deep inside that they burn
There are those who have waited in patient silence
Those who have danced gleefully
Those who have fears, or cried grief heavy tears
And each one of them
Each one of them have been me
CHORUS:
Those who will lead us know when to listen
Those who will lead us know when to speak
Those who will lead us know when to take action
Those who will lead us know what
It is we seek
CHORUS:
This is surrender
It?s how I find courage
The path that I walk the truth that I know
I learned to lead when I learned to follow
I learn to bend when I learned to grow
I became fire, I became wisdom, I became knowledge and humility
I became love when nothing else mattered,
When nothing else mattered love became me
CHORUS:
Stoking the common fire
Dancing like flame in the wind
Like sparks in the night
Combust into flight
When we breathe on the ember
We will remember (repeat)
