Starting a Fire
Igniting Choices: Exploring Life's Flames in Landon Herock's 'Starting a Fire'
Lyrics
I asked you to start a fire
I requested you to initiate a significant change or action
Using the same flame
Using the same passion or intensity
I tried to drive across the state
I attempted to travel across the state
I guess you couldn't do the same
It seems you were unable to do the same
And I know I'm not younger
Despite not being younger
No I don't have tattoos
No tattoos adorn my body
A generation didn't seem like much
A generation didn't appear significant, but choices had to be made
But I guess you had to choose
You had to make a decision
If innocence exists in ignorant bliss
If innocence is found in unaware happiness
Can someone tell me what day it is
Seeking clarity about the current day
You said let it be learn to process grief
You advised letting things be, learning to deal with sorrow
Take all the time you think you need
Take all the time you feel is necessary
I know that you're an artist
Acknowledging that you are an artist
I didn't know you'd draw the line
I didn't anticipate you setting boundaries
And I'd ask for forgiveness
I would seek forgiveness, but I can't perform miracles
But I can't turn water into wine
If requested to start a significant change, I know I would suffer
And if you asked me to start a fire
Observing the consequences of initiating change
I'd know I'd be burned
Realizing the risk of being hurt
I look around and all I see are flames
Surrounded by difficulties and challenges
A lifetime passed in a day
A lifetime seems to pass quickly
If innocence exists in ignorant bliss
Questioning if innocence is present in ignorant happiness
Can someone tell me what day it is
Seeking clarity about the current day once again
Ya said let it be learn to process grief
Advised to let things be and learn to cope with sorrow
Take all the time you think you need
Take all the time you feel is necessary (repeated)
Can it be I'm holding to maybe
Contemplating if I'm holding onto uncertainty
Can't think of all the possibilities
Unable to consider all the potential outcomes
So much to look forward to so much in store
Anticipating a promising future with much in store
I wish that it could last one day more
Wishing for the current state to last one more day
