Story Behind The Song
This song is for me. After many years in corporate America, I came back to the one thing I've always loved but never had the courage to pursue....Music. I wrote this after my first open mic. I knew then what I wanted to do....but it seemed in my situation as a wife, mother, and career woman that I would never be able to acheive it. I wrote this song at a period of time when I questioned if I could ever pursue my dream. Within 6 months, I left my career and settled into figuring out how to break into the music industry as a singer/songwriter. The fire burns strong today!!

Fire is about someone finally understanding what they want in life, and trying to find a way to get to it. It is about courage, strength, and will.

Lyrics
**** FIRE ****
(SHERRI MULLEN)
TOO MANY THINGS LEFT UNSAID,
DON?T TAKE MY DREAMS,
WHY ARE THEY DEAD,
TOO MANY WORDS TRAPPED IN MY HEAD,
TOO MANY NIGHTS AWAKE IN MY BED?
STOP IF I FEEL?JUST LIKE BEFORE,
MAGIC IT FADES,
BUT PASSION ENDURES,
I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE,
PUSHING ME DOWN ? LOCKING THE DOOR?
(CHORUS)
IS THERE A WAY TO SET MY SOUL FREE,
I FOUND THE LOCK,
BUT DON?T HAVE THE KEY?
IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE,
SHOW ME THE WAY,
BRING BACK MY FIRE?
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)
IS THERE A WAY TO SET MY SOUL FREE,
I FOUND THE LOCK,
BUT DON?T HAVE THE KEY?
IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE,
SHOW ME THE WAY,
BRING BACK MY FIRE?
I?LL FIND A WAY
TO BRING BACK MY FIRE?
