Intro – clean guitar picking, soft harmonies] Mmm… yeah… ⸻ [Verse 1] They sat in rooms with closed-up doors Told their stories, rewrote yours Turned your love into a lie Never looked you in the eye Took the pieces of your life Cut ‘em deep just like a knife But they never understood What a mother’s love could hold ⸻ [Verse 2] Now there’s silence where they stood But your heart still knows the truth And every mile, every road Leads you back to what they stole You don’t shout, you don’t break You just carry what they take Like a river running strong You’ve been steady all along ⸻ [Chorus – layered harmonies, mellow but powerful] There’s a fire on the line, it don’t fade away Through the dark of night, through the light of day They can run from truth, they can hide in lies But you see it all in your children’s eyes There’s a fire on the line, burnin’ calm and slow Ain’t about revenge, it’s about what you know Every road you walk, every tear you hide Brings you closer to the other side ⸻ [Verse 3] They can try to change the past But the truth ain’t built to crack Time’s a mirror, time will show Everything they’ll never know And the wind carries your name Through the hurt, through the blame One day they’ll come around Hear the truth in every sound ⸻ [Chorus – richer harmonies] There’s a fire on the line, it don’t fade away Through the dark of night, through the light of day They can run from truth, they can hide in lies But you see it all in your children’s eyes There’s a fire on the line, steady as the sun You don’t need to chase, you don’t need to run Every step you take, every stand you make Is a promise no one else can break ⸻ [Bridge – soft, reflective, almost spoken] You don’t have to fight the night Morning comes in its own time And what was lost along the way… Finds its way back home ⸻ [Final Chorus – full harmony stack, emotional lift] There’s a fire on the line, shining through the pain Like a desert rose in the pouring rain And the truth you hold, it’ll never die It’s written deep where the soul can’t lie There’s a fire on the line, and it’s leadin’ you Back to everything that’s always been true And when the dust finally falls away… Love’s the only thing that stays
