Baptism of Fire Lyrics

The lens of life

Past revived

Still pervaded

We're intertwined

Pre-defined

Truth resonated

Lovers swoon

Though not immune

Sensing foreboding

Determines fate

His father's traits

Still self loathing

Freedom of expression to those held close from within

Holding up your elders in search of a new lynchpin

Living through their former glories as your life begins

The years of which we were deprived

Courage summoned to survive

Times we hurt your foolish pride

One person I will confide

At times we all need our own space

One for you your saving grace

Life we all know will expire

Family Baptism of Fire

In denial

The reconcile

Still dedicated

Flames diffused

Though not approved

Unseparated

My silence spreads

Where you tread

Seeking approval

You draw the line

With me denied

Words of refusal

Freedom of expression to those held close from within

Holding up your elders in search of a new lynchpin

Living through their former glories as your life begins

The years of which we were deprived

Courage summoned to survive

Times we hurt your foolish pride

One person I will confide

At times we all need our own space

One for you your saving grace

Life we all know will expire

Family Baptism of Fire

The skin is brittle

Still belittles her time after time

Though not initial

Superficial though not in her prime

A condition

The attrition that berates the mind

The years of which we were deprived

Courage summoned to survive

Times we hurt your foolish pride

One person I will confide

At times we all need our own space

One for you your saving grace

Life we all know will expire

Family Baptism of Fire
