Trial By Fire

(album: Breakdown In Paradise - 1979)

Walking down the street, my feet are burning
Somehow this world just keeps on turning
I know that I want to get somewhere someday
I got to take whatever comes and label it learning
But does it have to be

Trial by fire
Prove you got the guts and the desire
Trial by fire
Does it really take you that much higher?

Walking down the street, my feet are flying
Somehow this world just keeps on lying
I know that if I want to get somewhere someday
I got to move it faster, faster every day
Trial by fire
Trial by fire

Ah, why did you do it? Why go through it?
Well, you know that if you want to get somewhere someday
You got to give it all you got
To give and it feels good that way

Trial by fire
Prove you got the guts and the desire
Trial by fire
Does it really take you that much higher?
Trial by fire
