Put out the fire and set me free Put out the fire and help me let it be Can't let it go on or it will take me to some end I can't right all these wrongs or make amends Maybe your mind works different than mine Maybe your mind is of another kind The things that you do, the things you hear and see Maybe it's you and not me Put out the fire, stamp out the glow 'Fore the stakes get any higher You know I know that I should know The fire's still raging and I've counted to ten Hold my breath and I'm waiting Want to exhale but don't know when Can't seem to put it out Keep trying, though I am in doubt I've drained the oceans dry but I cannot put it out Put out the fire, help me turn it around I fought it with fire but it only scorched the ground
