I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire, Burning so bright. And given of light. I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire, That never dies And that never cries. Maybe if I close my eyes I can try to visualize, Just what it would be like To burn away everyday. And I would be all by myself, I don't need nobody else As long as I've got plenty of wood to grow on. I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire, Burning so bright And given of light Burning so bright And given of light That will never die I will never cry.
