There Was a Fire

There was a place Deep in the wood There was a prayer that was prayed There was a fire That burned for a while And there was a vow that was made As the years passed The fire was extinguished The prayer was forgotten But hope still remained That maybe the memory Would be sufficient That there was a fire And the people were saved There was a time Out of the shadows Warmed by the heat of the flame There was story Written and carried And there was a name that was named As the years passed The fire was extinguished The prayer was forgotten But hope still remained That maybe the memory Would be sufficient That there was a fire And the people were saved As the years passed The fire was extinguished The prayer was forgotten But hope still remained That maybe the memory Would be sufficient That there was a fire And the people were saved Were saved There was a fire There was a fire There was a fire There was a fire and the people were saved
