[Verse 1]
Standing on the side of the river
Staring across the great divide
I'd give all my gold and silver
Just to get to the other side
Your love is like a rescue vessel
Carries me through the night
Through these flames of destruction
I know you’re gonna make it right
I know you're gonna save my life

[Chorus]
But I gotta walk through the fire
I gotta deal with desire
The situation is dire
I gotta walk through the fire of love
Walk through the fire of love

[Verse 2]
Sitting alone in my bedroom
Thinking about the trip to come
My bags are packed and I'm ready
I think I’m gonna make a run, oh lord
Oh lord, I'm gonna make a run
The red hot coals are calling
And I know it's the only way
There ain't no use in prolonging
The fact that I just can't stay
I know that I cannot stay
[Chorus]
But I gotta walk through the fire
I gotta deal with desire
The situation is dire
I gotta walk through the fire of love
Walk through the fire of love

[Bridge]
Want you to save me
Cover me when I go
I need you to take me
Take me across the red hot coals

[Chorus]
But I gotta walk through the fire
I gotta deal with desire
The situation is dire
I gotta walk through the fire of love
Walk through the fire of love
