A THOUSAND WAYS TO START A FIRE

A THOUSAND WAYS TO START A FIRE

Lost on a sea of changes
Sailing a stolen boat
Everything rearranges
Trying to stay afloat
Scanning a far horizon
Trying to find some land
Lost in a way that I just don’t understand

I feel like I’ve lost my fire
Nursing a single spark
Lit with a pale desire
Flickering in the dark
Trying to light my ember
Trying to find my song
Fearing I can’t remember where I belong

A thousand ways to start a fire, I just need one
Searching for something to inspire, to light up the Sun
One way to reignite the candle, one way to heal
One way to know that I can handle all that I feel

I’ll start with a mind that’s empty
Hang myself upside-down
Feet to the holy sky and
Head to the sacred ground
Here is will find my centre
Hang from the living tree
Wait for the light to enter
And fill me

A thousand ways to start a fire, I just need one
Searching for something to inspire, to light up the Sun
One way to dive below the surface, rather than fall
One way to know that there’s a purpose
Oh, to it all, to it all, to it all

One way to shine like I’m a diamond, one way to thrive
One way to know that I am truly 
Alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
