PUT OUT THE FIRE AND SET ME FREE

PUT OUT THE FIRE AND HELP ME LET IT BE

CAN'T LET IT GO ON OR IT WILL TAKE ME TO SOME END

I CAN'T RIGHT ALL THESE WRONGS OR MAKE AMENDS

MAYBE YOUR MIND WORKS DIFFERENT THAN MINE

MAYBE YOUR MIND IS OF ANOTHER KIND

THE THINGS THAT YOU DO - THE THINGS YOU HEAR AND SEE

MAYBE IT'S YOU AND NOT ME

PUT OUT THE FIRE - STAMP OUT THE GLOW

'FORE THE STAKES GET ANY HIGHER

YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT I SHOULD KNOW

THE FIRE'S STILL RAGING - AND I'VE COUNTED TO TEN

HOLD MY BREATH AND I'M WAITING

WANT TO EXHALE BUT DON'T KNOW WHEN

CAN'T SEEM TO PUT IT OUT

KEEP TRYING THOUGH I AM IN DOUBT

I'VE DRAINED THE OCEANS DRY BUT I CANNOT PUT IT OUT

PUT OUT THE FIRE - HELP ME TURN IT AROUND

I FOUGHT IT WITH FIRE BUT IT ONLY SCORCHED THE GROUND
