for so long i have been so alone
a coldness stilled my limbs like a death
another walked inside my soul
living my life - breathing my breath
for so long i was taught how to hate
so many had turned away
i sought to end this life and this pain
to ease the bitter ache
your fire is like no other fire
to open me in such a way
it warms me and heals what was broken
and makes me whole again
so you see the choice was always mine
to live in shadow or in light
how could i taste of the divine?
and fade into the dark of night
fortune comes but once or twice it stays
to touch a desperate lifetime so remiss
how strange to me the saving grace
i found inside a stranger's kiss
your fire is like no other fire
to open me in such a way
it warms me and heals what was broken
and makes me whole again
your fire is like no other fire
i carry it inside me to this day
it warms me and heals what was broken
and makes me whole again
