I Can See the Fire

I can see the glint of belief shining in your eyes.
I know you won’t turn back, from the future as it lies.
You feel the anger, directed at the people all around.
For it seems that they are asleep, it seems their hands are bound.

I can see the fire and I know that it won’t die.
I can see the flames are burning deep inside your eyes.

You’re walking ’round, it seems as if you’re in another land.
It seems the people function with their heads deep in the sand.
You start to shout, you start to scream, but the sleepers slumber on.
Then you awake, open your eyes, but the nightmare hasn’t gone.

I can see the fire and I know that it won’t die.
I can see the flames are burning deep inside your eyes.

It seems that life is going to be uphill all the way, but you won’t yield, it’s no surrender until your dying day.
For your ideals mean more to you than very life itself.
For the pride you feel is all you need, it’s more than any wealth.

I can see the fire and I know that it won’t die.
I can see the flames are burning deep inside your eyes.
