How We Became Fire

How we became fire

Slaves to the small desire

Of ignoring wrong and right

When we could have been water

The shape of all things

When we could have been water

The end of all things

Burning with you

Burning with you

At once the grace and the curse

At once the grace and the curse

How we became fire

When we could have been earth

The ground you sleep, rest in

When we could have been air

Follow you everywhere

When we could have been air

Follow you everywhere

At once the grace and the curse

At once the grace and the curse

Burning with you

Burning with you

Burning with you

(Burning with you)

Burning with you

How we became fire

Slaves to the great desire

Of enlightening you and I

How we became fire

Slaves to the great desire

Of saving you and I

At once the grace and the curse
