Lyrics
When I was young I used to try so hard to make a river from the streams that flowed to me,
Id struggle to control the energy that fed on feelings of the way Id like to be
It took some time to understand ,I didnt need to find a guiding hand
Just like a forest fire Id burn,
through everything that came in front of me
the force of nature to ignite my heart,
a flash of lightning was the spark that set me free
So dont you worry if you burn too bright , theres a reason and you just need to believe ,
you might be stranded in the darkest night annd find a river in the middle of the heat
It took some time to understand,
that fire renews the good that's in the land
Just like a forest fire Id burn,
through everything that came in front of me
the force of nature to ignite my heart,
a flash of lightning was the spark that set me free
The fire will wake the seed from slumber,
and help me see the light again
and life will be renewed
Just like a forest fire id burn
Im like a forest fire
