SEARCHING FOR THE FIRE

I know I’m not the only one
That has searched forever
Just to find someone
Who will set
Their heart
On fire…
Don’t want a cheat
Can’t stand a liar
I’m searching for the fire….

  Yeah...
I get hurt, beat down, and tired…
Searching for the fire…
~~*~~
I also know I’m not alone
Some have gone through Hell
Like I have done
Get caught up
In the
Wrong flames…
And when they fade
 You take the blame
You got burned, just walk away...   
   Cause…

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~
That one’s ignorant
He’s uptight
One’s just mean
Always wants to fight
He’s controlling
And won’t play fair
One’s a jerk
Wish I didn’t care
I get hurt, beat down, and tired…
Searching for the fire…
~~*~~


Sometimes I think what have I done
Did I somehow miss
That special one
Who could set
My heart
On fire…
Was it the friend
Whom I admired
Searching for the fire… 
      Oh…
    I get hurt, beat down, and tired…
Searching for the fire…
~~*~~
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Well ...just brave the coals, and walk on through

Do everything that you have to do


Say to  hell  with  what's  transpired


And keep searching for the fire...

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
Not one ignorant
Or uptight
No one mean
Looking for a fight
Not controlling
That won’t play fair
Not a Jerk
Cause we've all been there
Some get hurt, beat down, and tired…
Searching for the fire…
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
I know I’m not the only one
That has searched forever
Just to find someone
Who will set… Their heart …On fire…
Still searching for the fire
~~*~~

  2. Bravo! Teresa Bravo! I know that you write about events, but I also know that you write from experience too. Someone is going to see that fire in your eyes one day and want to catch it. I just know it.
