Hawkins, Sophie B. - Before I Walk On Fire Lyrics
I lied
I stole in the name of fear
But I won't be silent here
I don't want somewhere to run to
Lord, I want my dignity again
Before I walk on fire
You gotta look me in the face
I won't flinch, and I won't turn away
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for being scared
But I won't drop you in there
Oh, darling
Oh, world
Let me show you I care
I don't want somewhere to run to
I don't want somebody I can shake
Lord, I want my dignity again
Before I walk on fire
You gotta look me in the face
Give me back my touch
Give me back my feeling
Give me everything
I wanna be your witness
I want you to believe in me
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
(I'll hold you inside me)
Before I walk on fire
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
Come inside me
(I'll hold you inside me)
Before I walk on fire
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
You will guide me
(I'll hold you inside me)
Come on, baby, before I walk on fire
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'll hold you inside me)
Come on, baby
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
Come on, darling, yeah
(I'll hold you inside me)
Before I walk on fire, yeah
(I'll show you, you'll guide me)
Before I walk on fire
(I'll hold you inside me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hawkins, Sophie B. Before I Walk On Fire Comments
I won't flinch and turn away....I'm sorry for being scared...
I love introducing people to this song. They are always blown away.
I'll show you you'll guide me I hold you inside me
I love this song.
At 1;11 love the pause/whisper / violin then "I'm Sorry."
Lord I want my dignity again
This song is incredible. Sadly; Sophie was capable of so much more. Lost her way after Whaler
Absolutely wonderful lyrics! Her best song.....love love love
One artist that is very underrated!!!
Great music
TY for posting this song, dream on , my friend.....And may ALL your dreams be SPLENDID!!! ; )
1hokufan. Sophie s been my favorite musicians for almost 30 years i listen to her every day....
I've never heard anything like it. "I'm sorry.......I'm sorry for being scared."My Lord, I've been crying all day.How could ANYONE put those words in a song and make it make sense?There's no one word that could describe the honesty in this song?What was she thinking when she wrote it? My Lord.She'd have been in tears still with the pen in her hand still getting the lyrics correct.(LIke I've been all day!)Marriage breakups never seem to get any easier. Damn.
Liu Shuai do you work at Saint Agness 6th floor
Lovely......still <3
deep respect for a mother of childhood
Her artistry is the sunrise on the landscape of my soul
For sure
Wow. This artist should be heard far and wide, once again and always.
One of her best songs. Pure bliss listening to it.
Interesting girl...
Actually, I believe she identified at one time as "omnisexual", but what does this have to do with her music?
Andrew Wonders This is true, and I have no idea - she was asked her sexual identity in an interview back in 1994 and that's what she came up with.
At this time she apealed to all the straight people out there, Jokes on you all. She's a lesbian. lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo. We are everywhere
As Andrew Wonders has said before, what does the singer being lesbian, have anything to do with her music? Please do not use other people's talents to further your own agenda, without their explicit permission to do so. It is very unfair to them. Sophie B. Hawkins has a wonderful voice, writes great lyrics and sings beautifully. What she does in her private life is nobody's business but her own.
Have loved it always.
I have had this song in my head for the last couple of days.... had to have a relisten. Thanks for posting, its so quick and easy to listen to a song on youtube, thanks ranking up the old stereo....
IM 8 AND I LOVE THIS SONG WITH ALL MY HEART GO SOPHIE B HAWKINS
i will never get tired of this awsome song and i am only 8 years old
Love and Lube this woman.... Decades later and still enjoying her music.
I absolutely .. well.. I could have wrote this song, why I love this album dearly... Yes I know it well.. : ) ... Many shadowed why's .. My story back in '92.... Top left Sophie .. Top left :) , thank you for your music and my sweet memories : ) ..;) Cheers !
I absolutely adore this song. It's so passionate and beautifully, sung; so raw yet completely in tune all the way. Real feeling; her soul's in it. It kills me it wasn't released as a single. :(
Don't be afraid of beauty
Yeah, this is definitely the best. This was her best album too. Saw her live at her first show in Hollywood as well. Amazing performer! Sophie rulzzz. :)
Negative or positive fusion of thoughts, she's right on the mark...
Beautiful song. Always reminds me of Autumn for some reason.
Thank You for posting this. This is a tender, true gem of a song.
Oh what a beautiful song this is one of Sophie's best in my opinion. What a lovely human being she is.
