I recall the day when I was in thee
Thee womb, I could hear you so soon
I will see your face
I liked to play alone
Never ever all alone
My first day to school was so exciting
Although they all went on and on
Still rest my head for my wrongs
High school days are dark
So light the flame
Walking down those halls
So light the flame
Learning who I'm not
So light the flame
No idea of who I'm to be
My leash was long and so you let me run on
Like all good moms and dads must do
Guess I'll have to do it too
And while I'm cookin' down
So light the flame
My precious torch burns on and on
Set a flame to the daily paper
Cause there is just no justice here
And who really cares
Skipping through your fire
The first flame
Light dispelling dark
Returning to my roots
Our first flame
Of exactly who
Getting to that place
My first flame
Peace runs through my days
Finally crawling through
The first flame
With my source, my shield, my you
