.the woods are burning by ~maifire:iconmaifire:



See just what’s inside
In your mind, your freedom inspired
In your hands I see a fire
Of hope and love and desire

And yet it’s not all ablaze
Just some embers still fighting
That dream’s not erased
And you think this will all simply pass
But that’s simply just hiding
You know this will last

Remember all those stories
Where they look into each other’s eyes
Remember what you had, what you have,
What you can reach again
Re-ignite that flame in your hand once more

So reach out for that fire
And that hand in your mind, grab hold to it tight
Release all that feeling inside
Take a chance and a risk; it’s all part of life

So take those first steps take it easy, take it light
Place that fire to your heart and with all of your might
Melt all that ice that’s been surrounding your heart
Let the warmth guide you to open up to us all

So let it all set ablaze
Let those embers keep fighting
‘Cause that dream’s not erased
And you know this won’t just simply pass
You can stop all that hiding
You know this will last

Remember all those stories
Where they look into each other’s eyes
Remember what you had, what you have,
What you can reach again
Re-ignite that flame in your hand once more

So reach out for that fire
And that hand in your mind, grab hold to it tight
Release all that feeling inside
Take a chance and a risk; it’s all part of life

I thought it might be nice writing a song that focused much more on hope than something depressing... wouldn't want to get a reputation for being depressing.
I called it "The Woods Are Burning" as a tribute to Death of a Salesman, one of the plays I've been studying in English, I thought it was appropriate in emphasising the extended metaphor of the fire as a strong emotion of "hope and love and desire" and I suppose in a way, life as well because without those three things life is pretty tough.
