Kirsten Williams: Music
Burn Bright
It’s three in the morning and everyone I know is long fast asleep and at home
Except you of course who’s on night owl patrol with a wander lust in your soul
You’re the first to admit it, you can’t help but fidget when nighttime comes creeping round
And if I was near you I might try to steer you away from that cliff where you’re bound
But you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do
You just want to burn bright
I know you want to burn bright
There’s a fire in you, I believe
I wish the world could see
A freight train keeps rollin’ inside of your thoughts as you’re drivin’ slowly through town
Stoppin’ in bars for whiskey shots, tryin’ to drink your troubles down
And I ain’t one tell you about the hell that you’ve been through, I’ve seen your scars for myself
You’re still here living cause you made that decision if not for anything else
But you’re gonna go where you’re gonna go
You just want to burn bright
I know you want to burn bright
There’s a fire in you I believe
I wish the world could see
You get restless
You go ramblin’
Just aching for something to prove
Not sure what the Lord put you here to do
But you just want to burn bright
I know you want to burn bright
And just a spark could set you free
Then all the world would see
