Verse 1: When the smoke has cleared and I’m alone When the crowd has moved and I’m unknown Still the flame You placed won’t die Still You burn beneath my cry Chorus 1: You are the fire that stays When all else fades away You don’t burn out, You don’t let go You’re the ember in my soul Even in ashes, You remain The fire that stays through every flame Verse 2: There were nights I held my breath Mornings wrapped in silent death But You kept burning in the deep A holy fire I could keep Chorus 2: You are the fire that stays When the winds take light away You breathe life back into spark You light the corners of my dark You do not dim, You never stray The fire that stays, the fire that stays Bridge: Other flames may rise and fall But Yours outshines them all You don’t flicker with the wind You are the blaze that burns within Final Chorus: You are the fire that stays Steady through my hardest days You are the warmth when hope runs low The holy light I’ve come to know Let the heavens sing Your praise You are the fire that stays
