So down here on the ground people sacrifice just to try to get by   It's hard to get past being caught up in the thoughts   Of the flying high      Gone off that girl, everybody's chasing after her all of the time   Seems like Erika Kane, she done got up in the game   And have ya scared to try      You may not know it right now, nothings impossible   And when you try to push along, it seems to far to go   And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road   But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot, hot, hot      You can go on right now, search deep inside   You're getting strong right now, I'm willing to testify   You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride   'Cuz we all gotta walk through the fire      I walk the block running up the streets looking for the way out   Don't nobody know what I'm running from   Everything is spinning, feel like my world is burning   And I don't know what to do      If I put it all on you to get me where I need to be   Could you really comfort me   There's so much pain that I see      You may not know it right now, nothings impossible   And when you try to push along, it seems to far to go   And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road   But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot, hot, hot      You can go on right now, search deep inside   You're getting strong right now, I'm willing to testify   You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride   'Cuz we all gotta walk through the fire      Oh, now what a tangled web I've wove   Lost inside a maze I've made, misled my soul   I often sit down and pray but I can't 'cause I'm froze   Besides, Heavens to far away so I pave my nose      My pains unfold, whispering words to me that remain unspoken   Though some pictures tell a story, must remain untold   It's the same old song Aretha's sanging to me Lord and I can't go on   My eyes are blood shot, my tears run down and I cry 'til I can't stop      My fears are in war now with my heart   And I'm shell shocked   Trapped in mistakes now   You want me to bail in but I want me the hell out      I make you to feel bad but you making making me feel weak   I do you to hide you but you making me hide me   Every right I make was left so I'm staggered and gun shy   Addicted, I stand still 'cause she's making feel I'm      I'm in the world alone, trying to get back home   Please come and rescue me, someone's in desperate need   Trying to shake the pain so I can breathe again   Somebody pray for me so I can finally see      You may not know it right now, nothings impossible   And when you try to push along, it seems to far to go   And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road   But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot, hot, hot      You can go on right now, search deep inside   You're getting strong right now, I'm willing to testify   You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride   'Cuz we all gotta walk through the fire      You may not know it right now, nothings impossible   And when you try to push along, it seems to far to go   And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road   But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot, hot, hot      You can go on right now, search deep inside   You're getting strong right now, I'm willing to testify   You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride   'Cuz we all gotta walk through the fire
