Mary Gauthier Walk Through The Fire Lyrics

In the darkness it finds me the terrible fire
It don't matter how much I pray
The flames leap and burn me there's nothing I can do
To make the fear go away

So I try to keep moving
Try not to look back
Push really hard on the stone
I walk through the fire alone

The tree by my window turns gray in November
I watch the leaves as they fall
The branches left naked reach up so proudly
I wish to God you would call

But me I'm the dead one
You are the lover
Who loved me right down to my bones
Now I walk through the fire alone

The powers that push me
They move me they own me They constantly tell me to run
I try not to listen, I try to fight them
But never a battle I've won

So let go of lovers
I let go of diamonds
I've plenty of sins to atone
While I walk through the fire alone

Hold onto your children, hold onto your mama
Hold onto the ones that you love
Hold onto your heart, hold onto your visions
Hold onto what you're dreaming of

And if there's something missing
If you're hiding from someone you long to have known
Then you'll walk through the fire
Walk through the fire
Walk through the fire alone
