Fire
Struck upon a luck of love on the Clover Valley way
The north side of the mountain with the valley open wide
It was there by the red bud tree we had a lot to say
Speaking of our will in the most precious way
One day the light was struck upon the leaf of a limb
Stretched for the town, set the ridge all in flames
The eagle in me who would watch for fun, come gather what could save
The sun was red as blood and the sky the darkest grey

Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real

The ridge it lay as a tail would do of a dragon in Hell
Burning what it touched and it touched so much land
Now I can see the silhouette of who I thought you were
You show me who you are, this I must learn

Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real

It is said that the light was struck from a flame in control
The control was lost and so many lives were too
It is said that we created love from the will of our own
And I lay the truth to rest from the will of my own
They're now seeds that lay upon the ground given to the sun
With the canopies freed now the many seeds will grow
I had looked upon the mountain side with the spring rain fall
And there I saw new life, and this is where we live
And it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, so real, for real
Hey and it's on fire for real, for real, for real
