The flame crackles, br Spitting shinning sparks br And ashes and fire br Into the warming air. br br It’s always fighting, br It’s Always changing, br Seems always so close br To life. br br To it’s burning, br But beyond it’s brilliance br The fire defies, denies br And defeats it’s death. br br Patience, I believe, br Is learned in the view. br Because with strength and defiance, br The coals burn anew.
