I'm Building a Fire

I'm building a fire to keep you warm long after I retire
'Cause this body is bound to expire, tonight, tonight

The embers will grow and will remind you what you already know
That the night is only a temporary absence of light, of light
Of light, of light

In the morning you wake, the ashes, the memory and the sun on your face
I will not seem so far away, arise, you're alive
Arise, you're alive
