What We Lost In The Fire lyrics

I lit a match today I watched it burn away All that I had, all that I've owned All that I've wanted, all that I've known I can rebuild bigger and higher I can replace what I lost in the fire I lit a match today I watched it blow away Yeah, they're investigating Sift through the mire To determine the cause of this beautiful fire Let 'em speculate to their hearts desire This wasn't arson it's a funeral pyre Let it all burn up to the sky There is a freedom you cannot deny I can rebuild, bigger and higher I can replace what I lost in the fire See the parade fall in line Yeah, look at the diamonds in their eyes Not just from the riches, nor from the gold But from all of the sparkles that they found in the coal Let them feel the warmth of their newfound desire As they dance through the ashes of what they lost in the fire Let it burn up to the sky There is a freedom you cannot deny I can rebuild bigger and higher I can replace what we lost in the fire Ash in the candle, fortune in toll Blissful indulgence as the future unfolds The reed and the shaft will all burn away With insurgence and splendor, listen as we say (Let it all burn, up to the sky) There is a freedom that won't be denied I can rebuild bigger and higher I can replace what we lost in the fire Oh, what we lost in the fire Oh, what we lost in the fire Say, say
