The Fire That Stays Lyrics

It starts with sparks, a roaring light

A dance of gold against the night

Laughter rises, shadows spin

The fire calls, we lean right in

It flickers bright, it burns so wild

A fleeting blaze, a fleeting smile

But flames are hungry, quick to fade

And soon the embers take their place

The flames rise high, but fade too soon

Leaving only embered bloom

The brightest fire won't always last

But steady coals will hold the past

The crackling hush, the crimson coals

A steady warmth that gently holds

No flickered flash, no fleeting high

Just steady heat beneath the sky

No need to feed it, no need to chase

The coals will burn at their own pace

No sudden flare, no sparks to fly

Just warmth enough to last the night

The sparks may dance, the light may roam

But warmth is found where embers glow

It isn't fire that burns away

It's fire that stays another day

We fear the fire when it slows

We think the warmth is letting go

But don't mistake the quiet light

It's burning deeper, burning bright

The brightest flames will always fade

But glowing embers warm the shade

It's not the blaze, not fleeting light

The fire that stays will last the night
