I'm Building a Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm building a fire to keep you warm long after i retire
'cause this body is bound to expire, tonight, tonight
The embers will grow and will remind you what you already know
That the night is only a temporary absence of light, of light
Of light, of light
In the morning you wake, the ashes, the memory and the sun on your face
I will not seem so far away, arise, you're alive
Arise, you're alive
