waiting in the dark
looking for a spark of light
quiet on the street
shouting in the heat of night
empty heart and mind
reaching out for truth
I’m running out of time
I can’t waste my youth

then He set my heart on fire
with sparks that flew from iron hitting iron
hearts on fire
with sparks from iron hitting iron

dancing in the street
giving life a chance to start
fire burning bright
cut the Light on in my heart
full of love and faith
I’ve gotta tell the truth
making up for time I wasted in my youth

then He set my heart on fire
with sparks that flew from iron hitting iron
hearts on fire
with sparks from iron hitting iron

[bridge]
He’ll keep this fire burning as long as I believe
love is in the learning
and I’m learning on my knees
