Your Fire Burning (Clark)


Now your hearts on the ground
I'm trying hard to be fair
Someone out of control
Someone who doesn't care

As you pick up your pride
Put your head in the air
You find it hard to believe
That, that someone would leave
Till it was over

And all I want is you to believe in me
I am your fire burning here
And someday you'll find out
That you can be free
And break the chains of their despair
Meanwhile your fire is burning here

I can never replace
The time that I didn't know
You were trying to love
Someone out of control

With your life in my hand
And your in my heart in my soul
I hope that you'll understand
That my love can't just be and then be over

And all I want is you to believe in me
I am your fire burning here
Someday you'll fly away and you'll be free
And let them go in their despair
Meanwhile your fire is burning, darling
Meanwhile your fire is burning, leave it burning
Meanwhile your fire is burning here

I hope that I do ascend
The pain of losing you when
You were in the control
Of someone out of control

Some where deep in the night
I saw you finding your way
Silhouetted in light
And never having to say
Say that it's over

So all I want is you to believe in me
I'm the fire burning here
And someday you'll find out
That you can be free
And break the chains of their despair
Meanwhile you're fire is burning, keep it burning
Meanwhile you're fire is burning, darling
Meanwhile you're fire is burning here
