Lizz Wright Fire lyrics

Are you frightened by the fire in my eyes?
It burns for you and I know you see it too
Your heart was open looking for light
Are you surprised? Baby, leave your pride

'Cause I'm gonna burn
Right or wrong, it's all for you to see
Stop hidin' your eyes, take the fire from me
And be warm, life is hard
And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire
You don't have to give it back to me

It's a gift to feel this good
Loving you is enough to bring me peace
Nothing's perfect but it's enough
To fill with love, a heart that was cold with dust

And it's gonna burn
Right or wrong, it's all for you to see
Stop hidin' your eyes, take the fire from me

And be warm, life is hard
And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire
You don't have to give it back to me

Don't worry about me
I'll stand here in the darkness
With the joy that Heaven promised
To those who live with open hearts

And it's gonna burn
Right or wrong, it's all for you to see
Stop hidin' your eyes, take the fire from me
And be warm, life is hard
And sometimes the night is long

Take the fire
You don't have to give it back to me
