New Fire

(Album: Our Graceful Words - 2010)

Our families are a weird machine
there's too many parts to tape back together
before you turn 18
you shake cause you're not ready
but fear comes back for more
be a light in their darkness
be a glow on the shore
he'll turn it around
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your faith in
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your father
Families are a precious thing
there's too many hearts to break all at once
before you turn 23
you scream cause you weren't honest
and you left cause you were wrong
I pray for grace in your decisions
and hope you won't be gone too long
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your faith in
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your father…
take take that knife from your neck…
