Lyrics
"Born of Fire, Meant to Fly"
Closer than the air, whispering with ease.
A love so deep, beyond time’s tease,
Though a melody lost, you once knew the song,
soft and true, still it lingers long
Lay down your burdens, the war is done,
Anger and envy won’t outshine the sun.
Feel the rivers run, watch the flowers rise,
Taste the light, see through open eyes.
You were born of fire, carved from the sky—
Child of God, you were meant to fly.
Set down the tools of a life confined,
Let the past fade, leave fear behind.
The brook still sings, the daylight glows,
The scent of mercy, the touch of hope.
Hold the hands of those most dear,
Breathe in the moment clear.
Lay down your burdens, the war is done,
Anger and envy can’t outshine the sun.
Feel the rivers run, watch the flowers rise,
Taste the light, see through open eyes.
You were born of fire, carved from the sky—
Child of God, you were meant to fly.
No more shadows, no more fear,
The voice of love is loud and clear.
Every heartbeat, every breath, A sacred hymn
Lay down your burdens, the war is done,
Anger and envy can’t outshine the sun.
Feel the rivers run, watch the flowers rise,
Taste the light, see through open eyes.
You were born of fire, carved from the sky—
You were meant to fly.
