There is a fire burning inside of me
A fire that no one else can see
An ornery persistent smouldering burn
Takes away the peace for which I yearn
There is a fire burning inside of me
A fire no one else can see
Burns through me in every way
Burns through each and every day
This fire that burns inside of me
This fire that only I can see
It sets my nerves aflame
Leaves me moaning in pain
This fire that burns inside of me
This fire that only I can see
What chaos this burn does foment
It makes my life a living torment
This burning flame inside of me
This burning no one else can see
Turns my pain into passion
To beat this pain into submission
There is a fire inside of me
A fire that shines so you can see
This burning pain has had to fashion
A life of strength and compassion
This fire that burns inside of me
This fire that I hope you can see
From tears and pain like lashes
Like a phoenix I rise from the ashes
Clothed in the fire that burns inside of me
Burning so everyone can see
Is a person nurtured and forged in pain
Transformed into something new again
There is a fire burning inside of me
A fire that burns for all to see
A fire that burns away the pain
A fire that gives me my life again
A fire of strength and compassion
A fire for life, love, and passion
