I Dreamed a Fire

I dreamed a fire last night

Burned this whole house to the ground

You were right beside it

Watching as the roof came down

You turned to me and cried out

How will all we've lost be found

I dreamed a fire last night

When you awoke this morning

You said you wish that more had burned

And through the smoke and ashes

Your gleaming wings had both unfurled

And you rose high above it

Into the golden sky you twirled

I dreamed a fire last night

May we be ready

To love again

From this moment until the end

From when we're soaring

To when we fall down

May we be ready now

And when your armor comes off

After all the wars you've waged

I think you're beautiful

Though your hands are clenched in rage

I know you've wrestled angels

And prayed and prayed for things to change

I dreamed a fire last night

Still there's a light that's shining

It burns in me it burns in you

Sometimes we hardly see it

Sometimes it's shining like the moon

And even when its darkest

You hold the flame that will see us through

I dreamed a fire last night

So, may we ready

To love again

From this moment until the end

From when we're soaring

To when we fall down

May we be ready now

May we be ready now

May we be ready now
