I am a wildfire
My passion is small sparks
Tiny flickers
All that ignite too fast

I am a wildfire
Dancing in the pitch black night
Others fuel my energy
Relentless energy

I am a wildfire
Unsteady, unstable
Always changing
Riled and tamed

I am a wildfire
A haze of orange
A broken thing
That grows to forget the pain

I am a wildfire
Unpredictable
Crazy, Untameable
Loud, Roaring

I am a wildfire
Sparks of light
Flames of passion
Chasing through the night

I am a wildfire
A stubborn little thing
A golden haze
A bright halo

I am a wildfire
Don’t change who I am
Don’t tell me who I am
Don’t tell me who I should be

I am a wildfire
I can be hurt but not broken
Down but not defeated

I am a wildfire
Hear me roarI am a wildfire

My passion is small sparks
Tiny flickers
All that ignite too fast

I am a wildfire
Dancing in the pitch black night
Others fuel my energy
Relentless energy

I am a wildfire
Unsteady, unstable
Always changing
Riled and tamed

I am a wildfire
A haze of orange
A broken thing
That grows to forget the pain

I am a wildfire
Unpredictable
Crazy, Untameable
Loud, Roaring

I am a wildfire
Sparks of light
Flames of passion
Chasing through the night

I am a wildfire
A stubborn little thing
A golden haze
A bright halo

I am a wildfire
Don’t change who I am
Don’t tell me who I am
Don’t tell me who I should be

I am a wildfire
I can be hurt but not broken
Down but not defeated

I am a wildfire
Hear me roar
