Lyrics
What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?
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.
This is the sound of a soul in tune
To a savage desire for a soul made new
It's a savage desire for a soul untamed
A definitive cry in the present age
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me complying?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
I wanna taste and see if the lord is good
I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood
See the savage desire is some stupid thing
Or if having desire is summoned deep within
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you left me behind, oh
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
