lyrics

In the light
and through the night
she dances by the fire,
her fortitude the choir that keeps the
music long,
the fire strong.
It’s not that she can’t see
the things the world can be.

Others see
her dancing without cause
and it makes them stop to pause and wonder
why she sings.
What does it bring?
The music never lasts.
What sadness joy forecasts.
And so they douse out the light.

Fires die
but flames ignite
and even though she’s drenched
her song she won’t forget and so she
dances on
and sings her song,
her joy a primal cry,
the fire in her eye.
And when the

fire burns,
the flames ignite.
And so she dances on,
her fortitude the song that keeps the
music bright,
the fire light.
It’s not that she can’t see
the things the world can be.
