I Burn

Some people think that I’m asleep
but, I’m poised and ready to leap
every stage that passes makes me stronger now
‘cause every dream that is shattered reappears somehow
in me

So I burn in the night
for a fire, a light
I burn for the night, for a sign
to make it right

Some people think that I’m too weak
but, I’m strong and steady and sleek
and every disappointment handed down my way
is filed away for balance in the better days
ahead of me

repeat chorus

Some people try to kill desire
toss a pail of water on the fire
but, every bitter breeze that tries to blow me down
simply fans a flame and makes the music sound
from me

repeat chorus
