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
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

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
Let me show you I love you
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

    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.

  18. p.... ....

    One of her best songs. Pure bliss listening to it.

  19. E.... P....

    Interesting girl...

  20. A.... W....

    Actually, I believe she identified at one time as "omnisexual", but what does this have to do with her music?

    A.... W....

    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.

  21. n.... b....

    At this time she apealed to all the straight people out there, Jokes on you all. She's a lesbian. lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo. We are everywhere

    n.... b....

    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.

  22. b.... ....

    Have loved it always.

  23. R.... M....

    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....

    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. :(
