I found passion in the fire
so i leapt into the pain
i jumped until i fell no higher
and was held up by the flame

burning away all that i know
just to know that i still feel
its not the flame that drives me
but the man behind the wheel

so then where I'm going is not the question
but why i'm still moving seems to linger
so i glance back at the child still blooming
and gave him a hand to go with his fingers

dreams are held to pieces
while collectors claim their debts
but i've left my values by the wayside
so into the fire's where i've leapt

Wow, this is great!

Gavin...I like this very much...

"I found passion in the fire
so i leapt into the pain
i jumped until i fell no higher
and was held up by the flame"

Very cool verse...well done.
