Lyrics

Every morning when I wake A feeling soon begins to overtake me Ringing in my ears resounds Through my brain, it finally surrounds me There is fire, there is life There is passion, fever and fury Yeah, there is love and there is hate There is longing, anger and worry Oh, I have a flame Feel it, touch my heart And down at my core Is the hottest part I can burn without fuel If it should become too cold I know I can endure the frostbite Ooh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me I keep myself so close to my side No one then can cause me harm Just as the river runs into the sea 'Cause every day, your fire alarm Is deafening the silence all around me Oh, I have a flame Feel it touch my heart And down at my core Is the hottest part I can burn without fuel It is burning, yes, it is burning Ohh, you can trust me, we can laugh Together we can share our sorrow I will give you secrets too An attitude that you may borrow Gypsy woman said to me "One thing you must bear in your mind You are young and you are free But damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime" Oh, you have a flame Feel it in your heart And down at the core is the hottest part We can burn without fuel
