MUSICAL Poem: FIRE BURNIN’, by Peter Gunn

Just a face in the neon crowd
Dreamin’ big, sayin’ dreams out loud
Small town heart on a midnight ride
Head full of stars, nowhere to hide
She’s chasing echoes down a dark-lit street
Holdin’ tight to the rhythm of her heartbeat

He’s got calloused hands and a restless soul
Lookin’ for truth in a world gone cold
Strangers passing, lost in the flow
But they both believe there’s more to know

They don’t know where the road will go
But they’re not turnin’ back, not takin’ it slow

Keep the fire burning,
We feel your yearning don’t let go
Even in the dark, let your spirit glow
One more mile, one more song
Hold on to hope, stay strong
Keep the fire burning… all night long

Dreamers fall but they rise again
Chasing love in the pouring rain
Every scar’s just a story to tell
A spark in the night that time can’t quell

FIRE BURNIN’
They’ve been burned but they still believe
In the light that lives beneath the grief
With every step, they find their way
Turning pain into power every day

They don’t need a reason why
They just lift their heads and aim for the sky

Keep the fire burning,
We feel your yearning don’t let go
Even in the dark, let your spirit glow
One more mile, one more song
Hold on to hope, stay strong
Keep the fire burning… all night long

The world may try to pull you down
But you’re not lost, you’re glory-bound
Raise your voice and sing it loud
You’re alive — stand up proud!

Keep the fire burning,
We feel your yearning don’t let go
Even when you’re tired, let your passion show
One more dream, one more fight
You were made to shine so bright
Keep the fire burning…

FIRE BURNIN’
Through the night

Keep the fire…
Burning…
