From the recording The Roar of the Approaching Night
Lyrics
FALLING INTO A FIRE
Everybody tells me it's okay to cry
Everyone has a hand on my shoulder and a wink in their eye
Everyone has a story about hard times past
And everyone reassures me…”Brother, they won’t last.”
But still I feel…
Lord, I feel like I’m falling into a fire
I’m falling into a fire…
I’m falling into a fire…
And I feel…
Lord, I feel it burning me…
Every hour slips away like a long lost friend
Every moment embraces my pain and its hold won’t end
Every breath is like a whisper that I can’t hear
And every beat of my heart, it rings out cold and clear
But still I feel…
Lord, I feel like I’m falling into a fire
I’m falling into a fire…
I’m falling into a fire…
And I feel…
Lord, I feel it burning me…
Every day that passes, brother, is a hope kept alive
Every month in the distance, brother, is four more weeks to survive
And every year will be counted one-by-one
Each chance I have to dance will celebrate the dawn
And every song from my voice will call a victory won
But still I feel…
Lord, I feel like I’m falling into a fire
I’m falling into a fire…
I’m falling into a fire…
And I feel…
Lord, I feel it burning me…
