Stuart McNair – Building A Fire lyrics

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
