Closer to the Fire

Story Behind The Song

I wrote the song as an expression of some of the intense hopes and dreams I have in my own life.

Song Description

a metaphor for life, aspiration, desire and hope. Many times in life when finally get to the top of the mountain, we realize that the top is still higher. This pushes us on. Some people have told me they think the song is a prayer....either way is fine

Subject Life Language English

Lyrics

.....up there on the mountain...I can see the fire
it's cold and windy here, but it's warmer up higher
I'm still gathering wood
as I start to climb
day is fading......
so there's not much time.....
