Your Fire Your Soul
Dar Williams
Button up that shirt you're s'posed to wear,
Don't forget your airline ticket or to brush your hair,
Show that family that you care.
Could you wear something that celebrates
Everything you love and maybe what your family hates,
Cause that might be what it takes.
Cause that's your fire, that's your soul,
You shouldn't have to go.
That's your fire, that's your soul,
You shouldn't have to go.
First thing they say's "take off your shoes,"
And they'll say they want your story but they get confused,
By all those words you use.
A year ago your car went off a cliff,
And you saw an angel in midair, who said you'd live,
Well that's a story you can give.
Cause that's your fire, that's your soul,
You shouldn't have to go.
That's your fire, that's your soul,
You shouldn't have to go.
And they say "you're family, you belong to us.
You can stay at home and have our love and trust.
Any day now one of us could die,
If we make you suffer don't you want to find out why,
Cause we love to watch you try."
With your fire, your soul, your soul.
It's your fire, it's your fire,
It's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire.
Then you'll fly home and get the flu,
And you'll keep staring at the ground you always do,
When they get their time with you.
You are not a punching bag my dear,
I think your darkest days should have some light this year,
Oh i think you should stay right here.
With your fire and your soul you shouldn't have to go.
It's your fire, that's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.
That's your fire, that's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.
That's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire.
