Beneath your feet, you feel the world is shaking,
And your dreams slowly sifting through your hands...
But there's a place you'll never be forsaken:
I'm a warm fire a-burning; not a candle in the wind.

And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
'till Forever turns around and starts again.
And should you need someone who'll never harm you:
I'm a warm fire a-burning; not a candle in the wind.

Life can be a silver river winding
With the dark side awaiting 'round the beam.
But for you a light is always shining:
I'm a warm fire a-burning; not a candle in the wind.

And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
Till Forever turns around and starts again.
And should you need someone who'll never harm you:
I'm a warm fire a-burning; not a candle in the wind.
