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
