I Dreamed a Fire

I dreamed a fire last night
Burned this whole house to the ground
You were right beside it
Watching as the roof came down
You turned to me and cried out
How will all we've lost be found
I dreamed a fire last night
When you awoke this morning
You said you wish that more had burned
And through the smoke and ashes
Your gleaming wings had both unfurled
And you rose high above it
Into the golden sky you twirled
I dreamed a fire last night
May we be ready
To love again
From this moment until the end
From when we're soaring
To when we fall down
May we be ready now
And when your armor comes off
After all the wars you've waged
I think you're beautiful
Though your hands are clenched in rage
I know you've wrestled angels
And prayed and prayed for things to change
I dreamed a fire last night
Still there's a light that's shining
It burns in me it burns in you
Sometimes we hardly see it
Sometimes it's shining like the moon
And even when its darkest
You hold the flame that will see us through
I dreamed a fire last night
So, may we ready
To love again
From this moment until the end
From when we're soaring
To when we fall down
May we be ready now
May we be ready now
May we be ready now
