Fires From Space
Igniting Life's Lessons: Fires From Space by Tony Venuto
Lyrics
I wake up, I go down, start clearing off the ground
Beginning the day, starting to clean up the surroundings
I don't mind, I'm just picking up sticks
Not bothered, simply doing a menial task
Filling up those barrels, and I'm filling them quick
Filling containers rapidly
Building fires so high you can see them from space
Creating fires so immense they're visible from space
Keep doing it fast like it's some kind of race
Continuously working fast, as if in a competition
I can taste the smoke going down to my lungs
Sensory experience of inhaling smoke deeply
I listen to the echoes of the songs we sung
Recalling memories or echoes of past songs
Get yourself out of the way
Advice to remove personal obstacles or barriers
Get yourself out of your own damn way
Encouragement to overcome self-limiting behaviors
She's waiting to take you away
Someone is waiting to guide or help
Taking you to a new school today
Escorting or introducing to a new experience or phase
Go and learn all you can,
Urging to acquire knowledge
You don't have to understand
Not mandatory to comprehend everything
Give her all that you have
Give everything to this guiding force
Give her all you can give
Offer all that is possible to give
What she'll give you back
Expect invaluable returns from this entity
Is the best reason to live
The returns received will be the motivation for living
The fire goes up, the smoke falls down
Visualizing the movement of fire and smoke
It's time to leave, no messing around
Time to depart without delay
The flames are coming, burning trees like sticks
Describing the ferocity of the flames
It's burning houses, it's burning them quick
Conveying the speed at which destruction occurs
The fire's so high you can see it from space
Reiteration of the enormity of the fire
Leaving here fast like it's some kind of race
Quickly leaving, perhaps in haste
I taste the smoke going down to my lungs
Sensing the smoke inhaled deeply
Spitting out the ashes that land on my tongue
Removing or spitting out the remains of destruction
