Playing With Fire
Flowers Brandon Lyrics

Daddy I'm not gonna tell you that I'm sorry
I won't apologize for following my dreams and beliefs.

Cause there ain't nothing you can do to change my mind
No matter what you do or say, I won't be swayed from my path.

I'm not here to know the things I cannot do
I'm not afraid to take risks and try new things.

We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly
I've learned from others who didn't chase their dreams.

That road outside that you've been taking home forever
You have your own path, but I must find my own way.

That'll be the same road that I take when I depart
I might leave, but I'll always remember where I came from.

Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together
This place has its own heart and soul that keeps it thriving.

May twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart
Even though things might get tough, there's always a reason to keep going.

Playing with fire
Taking risks and going after what you want, no matter the consequences.

You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
There might be negative consequences or hurt feelings, but you have to take risks to achieve your goals.

And you're out on the wire
Your decisions and actions might be dangerous or risky.

Perhaps this calling is the channel of invention
Following your passion and beliefs might lead to new ideas and creations.

I will not blush if others see it as a crime
I'm not ashamed of my beliefs or actions, even if others judge me for them.

However dangerous the road, however distant
No matter how tough things get, I'll keep pushing forward.

These things won't compromise the will of the design
Nothing will stop me from pursuing my goals and dreams.

Ten thousand demons hammer down with every footstep
There will always be obstacles and challenges in your way.

Ten thousand angels rush the wind against my back
You'll have support and encouragement along the way as well.

This church of mine may not be recognized by steeple
My beliefs and goals might not be conventional or accepted by others.

But that doesn't mean that I will walk without a God
Even if others don't understand or support me, I have my own beliefs and faith to guide me.

Rolling river of truth, can you spare me a sip?
Can I find some guidance or wisdom to help me on my journey?

The holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip
Life can be tough and draining, but you have to keep moving forward.

I've got this burning belief in salvation and love
My passion and belief in what I'm doing keeps me going.

This notion may be naive, but when push comes to shove
Even though things might seem tough or unrealistic, I'll keep fighting for what I believe in.

I will till this ground
I'll keep working hard and pursuing my goals, no matter the obstacles or hardships.

And I might not get there
I might not achieve everything I set out to do.

But this little town, this little house,
Even if I don't achieve everything, I have a home and community to come back to.

They seem to be leaning in the wrong direction
Even if things might seem tough or uncertain, I'll keep striving for what I believe in.

I'm not afraid of you no more
I'm not afraid to be myself and pursue my goals and passions.
