The House That Fire Built

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 think I saw a vision

I'd even call it a sign

I'll now ignite the mission

Yeah to fall in love, not fall in line.

Still something real was missing

To mix with heat and light

A brand new fuel giving purpose to the ups and downs and wrongs and rights

When all the flames came rushing, it was so beautiful

Still I wanted something more to say

As I spread this blaze

So I left that fire

And started a new one (and then another one)

So do you think to give up could be better

Or have you even tried?

The fire you have warmed up to

Is only gonna burn you up inside

When all the flames came rushing, it was oh so beautiful

But I wanted something more to say

When I spread this blaze

So I left that fire and started a new one.

I started a new one

Soak the ground with gasoline

Drop the match and let the blaze infect us all

Seeing this fire burn out of control

I finally feel the warmth of the Everglow.

Take a dream light it up and watch it grow

A combustible explosion

(Explode)

Before you say that a part of you has died

Remember that the fire is on the inside

All you need is to open it up wide

Time for action, chain reaction

(It's time)

I see the truth rising up in the flames

Oh it burns away at the remains

And it's strong enough to overtake the rain

Bright enough to see the light of day

When all the flames came rushing

Well, you know it was beautiful

But you've still got something more to say

For this world today

I know that we could change

So let's make a pact

To never hold it back.

Won't you take that fire with you and then start a new one. Go ahead and start a new one. Yeah! We've started a new one.

I think I saw a vision

I'd even call it a sign

I'll now ignite the mission

Yeah to fall in love, not fall in line.
