Burning Bright

The evil wears a simple face,
A knowing smile, a cold embrace.
It's written in the way they stare,
A language I learned to bear.
I don't speak out, no one believes,
Walking alone in autumn leaves.
(Love)
Threw me out into the frost,
A childhood, barely lived and lost.

But this heart won't turn to stone,
This light inside is all I own.
My soul shimmers in darkest night,
The evil one he helps me fight.
(Strength)
Through the static and the breaks,
For goodness' sake, my spirit wakes.
A rare, small flame in endless night,
I keep it burning, burning bright.
(Yes)

You see the good ones, few and far,
Like a lonely, distant star.
Finding one us far too rare,
But love prevails, pure and fair.
(yes)
They carry kindness, wear it loose,
Untouched by all the world's abuse.
(Peace)
I try to hold that same design,
To make that fragile goodness mine.

But this heart won't turn to stone,
This light inside is all I own.
My soul shimmers in darkest night,
The evil one he helps me fight.
Through the static and the breaks,
For goodness' sake, my spirit wakes.
A rare, small flame in endless night,
I keep it burning, burning bright.
(Brighter)

I'm looking for a home up there,
A place without the cold despair...
(Heaven's gate...)
A place to rest my head...
Eternal joy like god once said...
(I believe...)
(Believe)
