I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire Burning so bright And giving off light I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire That never dies And that never cries Maybe if I close my eyes I can try to visualize Just what it would be like To burn away every day And I would be all by myself I don't need nobody else As long as I've got plenty of wood to grow on I wish that I was a fire I wish that I was a fire Burning so bright And giving off light Burning so bright And giving off light I will never die I will never cry
