about

This is for my oldest, full of love and fire

lyrics

We are made of fire

Dust and breath made our bones
Hands and hearts they make our clothes
There's a spark of light in everyone
Praise to the one who gave us love

We raise our faces to the Son
He shines the same on everyone
But still the nations are at war
We don't know what we're fighting for

We all have chains on our bones
Some are tin and some are gold
Some are lead and some are steel
Some wounds they never heal

Old Job, he lost it all
Tore his clothes and wore sackcloth
His friends said "Job, what did you do?"
He said to God, "What about you?"

He was made of fire

Dust and breath made our bones
Hands and hearts they make our clothes
There's a spark of light in everyone
Praise to the ones who taught us love

They were made of fire
You are made of fire
I am made of fire
We are made of fire
