The Fire - Kina Grannis

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You stood tall

The fire began to let out

I trusted you’d refrain

And keep closed your mouth

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

Words crashing through the flames

Smoke spreading far

And I thought we’d remain

Free from its harm

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

Will we burn, will we burn

From the fire will we learn

To be mindful and keep away

From the words that ignite the flame

Our words will ignite the flame

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

You let the fire out and it’s right in front of me

Right in front of me

Face it don’t turn around

There’s no running from the heat
