You shone like a light to follow
Knowing I would
You graced me with a precious gift
That no one else could
Touched by your presence I surrender
You gave me a lead and I was a follower
A quest to succeed, I am a discoverer
Flame! You set me on fire
Nothing can take me any higher
I'm fueled on emotion and full of desire
Flame! Show me the way
Watching the candle glisten
Put's spark in my head
History being written
Washed up in the sand
Touched by your presence I surrender oh yea
You gave me a lead and I was a follower
A quest to succeed, I am a discoverer
Flame! You set me on fire
Nothing can take me any higher
I'm fueled on emotion and full of desire
Flame! Show me the way
[Guitar Solo]
You gave me a lead and I was a follower
A quest to succeed, I am a discoverer
Hold on the flame and feel the power
Flame! You set me on fire
Nothing can take me any higher
I'm fueled on emotion and full of desire
Flame!
