Some people say love is a losing game, you start with fire and you lose the flame. The ashes smolder, but the warmth's soon gone, you end up cold and lonely on your own.
Make a destination of the greater truth.
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light, and I held firmly to what I felt was right.
With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below.
