by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy
Every morning when I wakea feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is firethere is lifethere is passionfever and fury.
There is love and there is hatethere is longinganger and worry.
OhI am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too coldI know I can endure the frostbite.
Oha blanket then I ll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harmjust as the river runs into the sea.
Cause every daya fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets tooan attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me"One thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are freebut damned if you re deceased in your own lifetime."
Ohyou have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.
