Finding Fire Lyrics

When I was sixteen

I got my first guitar

We stayed up singing late

'Til we could see the stars

Music was a magnet

Coffee kept us wired

Nothing else mattered much

I was the fool they hired

We were the first to find fire

We felt so good, so inspired

We stumbled onto something that satisfied our thirst

Like a new discovery in our backyard universe

We were the first … to find fire

Now I am a cynic

My passion's faded

My heart's not in it, no

My soul is jaded

But when we gather round

That old guitar and sing

The magic of the music

Has my mind remembering

We were the first to find fire

We felt so good, so inspired

We stumbled onto something that satisfied our thirst

Like a new discovery in our backyard universe

We were the first

We thought we were the first

To find fire
