Fire, Fountain, Gem

You're like a fire I've never seen so brightly lit before tonight
You're like a fire I've never seen so brightly lit before tonight
And like a fire that's never been alive in spark, the wind breathes you to be
And your desire to believe, to settle scores so tenderly, oh

You're like a fire I've never seen so brightly lit before tonight
You're like a fire I've never seen so brightly lit before tonight
And as the hours turn to days all the ashes burn away, oh
And to my eyes all that remains is purest gold refined by golden flames

You're like a fountain the rain afraid to stop and start again
You're like a fountain the rain afraid to stop and start again
And like a fountain in the rain, your water's pure and it's changed, oh
And your complexion's rearranged, brightly found in weakest days, oh

You're like a fountain in the rain with hidden words you couldn't say
Fierce, humble words you couldn't say until today
And as the days roll into years, those heavy rains may disappear
Your comfort's near, strength in fear

Strength in fear
Strength in fear
Comfort's near

And like a gemstone you unearthed ten inches down below the dirt
That hums and vibrates as it sings, harmonic hertz
And like a gemstone you unearthed and kept it safe 'til you matured
Your body's found its perfect verse, peace while cursed

Peace while cursed
Peace while cursed
Perfect verse

As the years march into decades, we will falter and we'll fade
But some small parts of us remain clasped in fists
Hold onto what you've lived through fire, fountain, gem
And when we stand on feet again, loose your grip
