Heart Of Fire, as written and performed by Midlands UK-based singer/songwriter Daniel Trigger
lyrics
He’s just a family man,
Who once had dreams and plans,
But now he wears a shirt, knots his tie and fakes a smile,
He blows a kiss to his wife,
And waves the kids goodbye,
And though he won’t complain, he feels dead behind his eyes.
Drowning in regret, this is what he said:
Heart of fire, desperation in my eyes,
As the world keeps turning, my dreams start burning down,
Reaching higher, aiming for my heart’s desire,
But I won’t give up and I won’t back down anymore,
Heart of fire.
He lies awake every night,
Looking back on his life,
He tried the best he can, not afraid to walk the line,
And when he brushes his hair,
He sees there’s less and less there,
He’s so far from his goal and now running out of time.
Drowning in regret, this is what he said:
Heart of fire, desperation in my eyes,
As the world keeps turning, my dreams start burning down,
Reaching higher, aiming for my heart’s desire,
But I won’t give up and I won’t back down anymore,
Heart of fire.
Drowning in regret, this is what he said:
Heart of fire, desperation in my eyes,
As the world keeps turning, my dreams start burning down,
Reaching higher, aiming for my heart’s desire,
But I won’t give up and I won’t back down anymore,
Heart of fire.
