I'm building a fire by the side of the road

building a fire by the side of the road

my heart has been freed, my oats have been sowed

so I'm building a fire by the side of the road

I'm gonna take me a walk through the woods for a while

I'm gonna take me a walk right through those woods for a while

the ties around their necks make it hard for folks to smile

so I'm gonna take me a walk through the woods for a while

chorus - how many days will there be

how many more full moons will I see

before the tiny stream that carries me

finally flows back into the sea

we're building a home inside of our minds

building us a home right here inside of our minds

everyone's accepted here and welcome every time

building a home inside of our minds

and we're gonna walk a little closer to the light

we're gonna walk a little closer to the light

everything will turn out fine, everything will be alright

if we can only walk a little closer to the light

chorus

hello, hello, hello, hello, there's no need for goodbye

turn your frown upside down and wipe your weary eyes

I will never fail to stand by your side

until the tiny stream that carries me

finally flows back into the sea

and I'm gonna tell you all exactly how I feel

I'm gonna tell you all right now exactly how I feel

only love brings peace and only love is real

I'm gonna tell you all exactly how I feel

and we're building a fire by the side of the road

building a fire by the side of the road

our hearts have been freed, our outs have been sowed

so we're building a fire by the side of the road

chorus
