Fire Don't Die

There’s a wildfire on the mountain
Burning up forest
The years have made dry
You can see it comin'
It don’t matter
You can run
But there’s no place to hide
All night we kept pouring water
Drained the pond
But the flames burned bright
Through the smoke and crumbling ashes
We could see all we built
When it died
Oh, the world keeps on turning
Oh, this fire won’t die
Oh, rivers keep moving
You can jump in the current
Or get lost in the tide
Heavy-hearted, heavy-burdened
I could see you were tired of the fight
All the years spent singing verses
With no sign of a chorus in sight
Raise your voice
Oh, my sister
Tell the world you won’t lay down and die
You’re so pretty
When falling, angel
Gotta jump from the nest
Where you hide
