Somebody called the keeper of the fire
Someone is referred to as the protector or guardian of a vital force or spirit.
Holy smoke, I hope he ain't no liar
Expressing a hope that the keeper of the fire is truthful and trustworthy.
'Cause I've heard tell that while we're sleeping
Suggesting awareness of a belief that things are well-maintained while people are asleep.
All is well and safely keeping, we're only seeking
Assuring that during slumber, everything is fine and secure; emphasizing a collective quest.
Then it came a morning, we were feeling just the same
Describing a morning where emotions remain unchanged.
Caring less, let it snow itself to rain
Indicating a lack of concern, allowing circumstances to unfold naturally.
Easy summer, and we're hung out high and dry
Recalling an easygoing summer, contrasting with a challenging situation.
Somebody save us from this feeling, feeling in our eyes
Pleading for rescue from a particular feeling that affects the eyes.
Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
Observing a new light or insight emerging.
I turned about, everyone there kept on turnin'
Turning around, but others continue to turn away, possibly resisting change.
Came on through like a childhood yearnin'

Somebody called the keeper of the fire
