Fire - Lizz Wright

Are you frightened by the fire in my eyes?

It burns for you

And I know you see it, too

Your heart was open, looking for light

Are you surprised?

Baby, leave your pride

'Cause I’m gonna burn, right or wrong

It’s all for you to see

Stop hiding your eyes

Take the fire from me

And be warm, life is hard

And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire

You don’t have to give it back to me

It’s a gift to feel this good

Loving you is enough to bring me peace

Nothing’s perfect, but it’s enough

To fill with love

A heart that was cold with dust

And it’s gonna burn, right or wrong

It’s all for you to see

Stop hiding your eyes

Take the fire from me

And be warm, life is hard

And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire

You don’t have to give it back to me

Don’t worry about me

I’ll stand here in the darkness

With the joy that heaven promised

To those who live

With open hearts

And it’s gonna burn, right or wrong

It’s all for you to see

Stop hiding your eyes

Take the fire from me

And be warm, life is hard

And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire

You don’t have to give it back to me
