I Won't Be Burned

I Won't Be Burned

you got a right to have your doubts

with a soul like me about

when a power comes to me

from a source i cannot see

i'll plant seeds and watch them die

i'll bring honey from our hive

and i'll even give the lightning bolts

their turn

you got a right to have your day

when the bushes turn to flame

if a vision hits your head

and brings that light

it transpires as a spark

and illuminates the dark

and the joy will be delivered in return

i won't be burned

i won't be burned

i will lie in lion's dens without concern

i won't be burned

i won't be burned

i will hold the olive branch between my teeth

feel the feathers underneath

i won't be burned
