Fire Lyrics

written by Sara Emmitt

There’s a fire on this mountain

the trees fall in its wake

the wind fuels it forward

and the sun feeds its rage

Here we’ve built this home

of wood and stone

it’s the only home we’ve ever known

We say goodbye

we say goodbye

cuz nothing can stop this fire

So what do we take

what do we take

what do we need for comfort’s sake

leave behind the chairs and the pillows

we wont need those where we go

leave behind the worries and concerns

it’s time to free the past

and let it burn

let it burn

You can try to reason with the flames

but they’re gonna burn you 

all the same

You can hold onto the ashes

but through your fingers it all passes

You can try to rebuild the same

or you can let go and dance with the flames

This new place we go

this new found home

is on the very ground we walk

it’s in our voice it’s in our thoughts

it’s in the blood that’s in our veins

it’s in our wax it’s in our wanes

it’s in the color of our eyes

it’s in our truth without our lies

it’s in the feet of our soul

it’s in the fabric of our bones

it’s in the darkness that we fear

until we realize 

that home is here

Home is here

in our bodies and our souls

we have found this place called home

So when the fire comes you choke

to see your life go up in smoke

and then finally you see

that it’s the fire

that sets you free
