The Fire

Under the bush behind the leaves

You are no longer safe from the world

Smoking you out

Like a bee from its hive

They watch the paradise burn

You saw the flicker of the flame

You felt the heat on your back

Flee what once was your home

See the care that they lack

Welcome to the world my dear

Wake up and see what is

He wants to see you crumble and fall

But you can’t let him win

Rise from the ashes that bury you

Keep on fighting ‘till the end

Your time isn’t up so keep on running

The strongest flames are within
