lyrics

When A Fire Is Burning

Many live a life,
That is full of regrets.
The things they wanted,
Are things they can't forget?

They passed up their chances,
On what they'd like to be.
The joy that could've been,
Was never theirs to see.

Chorus:
When a fire is burning,
Help to build its flames.
Don't let it burn out,
Or life is not the same.
If you have some desire,
And you follow the light,
Something inside you,
Will tell you it's right.

When you are old and gray,
And you look at yesterdays.
Will you like what you see,
Are things as they should be?

Did you chase after dreams?
That had filled your head.
Do you feel satisfied?
With who's in your bed.

Chorus:
Did your fires burn out?
Without seeing flames.
Did you chase a dream?
As each one came.
When a fire is burning,
Help to build its flames.
Don't let it burn out,
Or life won't be the same.
