LYRICS
In the darkness it finds me the terrible fire
Don’t matter how much I pray
The flames leap and burn me there’s nothing I can do
To make the fear go away
I try to keep moving try not to look back
Push really hard on the stone
But I walk through the fire, alone

The tree by my window turns gray in November
I watch the leaves as they fall the branches left naked
Reach up so proudly I wish to God you would call
But me I’m the dead one you are the lover
Who loved me right down to my bones
Now I walk through the fire alone

The powers that push me they move me they own me
They constantly tell me to run I try not to listen
I try to fight them but never a battle I’ve won
So I let go of lovers I let go of diamonds
I’ve plenty of sins to atone while I walk through the fire alone

Hold onto your children hold onto your mama
Hold onto the ones that you love hold onto your heart
Hold onto your visions hold onto what you’re dreaming of
If there’s something missing, if you’re hiding from someone you long to have known
Then you’ll walk thru the fire walk through the fire
Walk through the fire alone
