Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me There is fire, there is life, there is pa**ion, fever and fury There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart And down at my core is the hottest part I can run without fear If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me It is burning It is burning You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind: You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime." Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart And down at the core is the hottest part We can run without fear It is burning It is burning
