Remember when you said I wasn’t ready
Told me to keep my daring thoughts within
Well, it was you who taught me how to dance with the devil
But you never let me try to win

I know I’m a stubborn soul
I broke rules and bones
I’ve got scars to show
And I’ll kick and fight until the end

I’ve stumbled down the road less traveled
But I’m up and running with the wind

So if you need a story to warm your soul

I’ll be the fire
And when I light up the sky
I’ll burn, burn higher
and brighter

I’ll be the fire, burning brighter

Remember when you thought I’d give it all up
Because the weight of the world was trying to push me down
I know I go against the grain
I’m in the middle of the desert, dancing for rain
And I don’t stop when I hit the ground

Because I’ve stumbled down the road less traveled
Sometimes to get up, you’ve got to fall down

So if you need a little light to guide your soul

I’ll be the fire
And when I light up the sky
I’ll burn, burn higher
and brighter

I’ll be the fire, burning brighter

I don’t need a reason to live what I believe in
And when I’m done, I’ll rest
Don’t try to understand the fuel behind the flames
If you could never see the spark beneath my chest

I’ll be the fire, burning brighter

I’ll be the fire
And when I light up the sky
I’ll burn, burn higher
and brighter

I’ll be the fire, burning brighter.
