Lyrics
Burn wood burn
wood that was once a tree and knew
blossom and leaf and the spring's return
nest and singing and rain and dew
burn wood burn
shine flame shine
woven of sunlight through and through
light of the centuries gold and fine
clear and exquisite warm and true
shine flame shine
bless fire bless
play on lintel and wall and beam
touch our lives with your loveliness
fill our hearts with your singing dream
bless fire bless
