THE ROOTS - Ba lyrics

In the darkness it finds me

the terrible fire

it don't matter how much I pray

The flames leap and burn me

There's nothing I can do

To make the fear go away

I try to keep moving

Try not to look back

Push really hard on the stone

But I walk through the fire alone

The tree by my window

Turns gray in November

I watch the leaves as they fall

The branches left naked

Reach up so proudly

I wish to Cod you would call

But me I'm the dead one

You are the lover

Who loved me right down to my bones

Now I walk through the fire alone

The powers that push me

They move me they own me

They constantly tell me to run

I try not to listen

I try to fight them

But never a battle I've won

So let go of lovers

I let go of diamonds

I've plenty of sins to atone

While I walk through the fire alone

Hold onto your children

Hold onto your mama

Hold onto the ones that you love

Hold onto your heart

Hold onto your visions

Hold onto what you're dreaming of

If there's something missing

Or if you're hiding from

Someone you long to have known

Then you'll walk thru the fire

Walk through the fire
