about

My prayer for this song is that it may be a healing balm to all those hearts who remember the fires that burned them, whether literally or symbolically. May it help you express your grief and rage and give it a place. So that we can write a new story, in which we feel safe to be all of ourselves and share our much-needed gifts with the world.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Innocent and pure
So many hearts she healed
She didn’t ask for more
But for the truth to be revealed

But still they did not hear
With frozen minds and frozen hearts
They watched her body disappear
Into the flames under the stars

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

The memory of those flames
Still haunts her on some days
The memory of those flames
Still haunts her on some days

Am I safe? Can I be?
Can I show all of me?
Am I safe? Can I be?
Can I show all of me?

Dressed all in white
Angels by her side
Roses in her hair
If I go, I go with flair

And just like Jesus said
‘God forgive them, cause they don’t know’
She bowed down her head
As the heat crept up from below

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

The memory of those flames
Still haunts her on some days
The memory of those flames
Still haunts her on some days

Am I safe? Can I be?
Can I show all of me?
Am I safe? Can I be?
Can I show all of me?
All of me, all of me

Now it’s been so many lives
And her soul always survived
Only these bodies come and go
And the truth will always show
Yet the memory of those flames
Still haunts her on some days
Though now she can see she is safe and free
Safe and free
