Fire

(Whoa, whoa)
Forged through the fire and the rain
(Whoa, Whoa)
Faced with the worst, I still remain

I've lived the worst
That I could take
That life could raise
Against my fate

And yet, again
I rose to face
That solemn space
With my name engraved

Through knives instead
Of beds of peace
Through raging screams
Plaguing my head

I walked revived
Look sharp, you'll see
Hardships turned me
Into something great

(Whoa, whoa)
Forged through the fire and the rain
(Whoa, Whoa)
Through this world's loathing and disdain

(Whoa, whoa)
Every step that I've taken
Shaped me through laughter and pain
So now
Faced with the worst, I will remain

I cried me a river
All the pain remains
I destroyed my liver
Hope it all goes away

But it all stays the same
I refused to make a change
Old habit's hard to break
Am I the one to blame

It took me so long to recover
Why’s it so hard for a brother
Just to go my way

Had to get my thoughts out the gutter
Had to find God
Thought God didn't love us
OK

But I was blessed with a brother
Blessed with a lover
Blessed with a family that I love like no other

This fire in me
Got much more to recover
I rise like the phoenix
And fly right above ya

(Whoa, whoa)
Forged through the fire and the rain
(Whoa, Whoa)
Through this world's loathing and disdain

(Whoa, whoa)
Every step that I've taken
Shaped me through laughter and pain
So now
Faced with the worst, I will remain
