New Fire
Sent By Ravens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there’s too many parts to tape back together
before you turn 18
you shake cause you’re not ready
but fear comes back for more
be a light in their darkness
be a glow on the shore
he’ll turn it around
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your faith in
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your father
Families are a precious thing
there’s too many hearts that break all at once
before you turn 23
you scream cause you weren’t honest
and you left cause you were wrong
I pray for grace in your decisions
and hope you won’t be gone too long
He'll turn it around
Call out to the sky!
I swear He'll turn it around
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your faith in
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your father
Take take that knife from your neck
Take that knife from your neck
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your faith in
New fire lit in you
a new fire circles this room
may you never be afraid of your father
