Electric Flame

from Here I Go Again by Englewood

lyrics

Today you light your way with an electric candle;
Today you’re licking frosting off a plastic cross.
Today you’re sipping juice from a practice chalice,
While you light your inner fire in front of us.
Burn on, burn on, Electric Flame!

It’s really quite a miracle to watch a baby grow,
A whole new person where there was none before.
A little lump of nothing with her little fists a-pumping,
Mostly sleeping, weeping, eating and not much more.
But when she opens up her eyes, surprise! Electric Flame!

It’s really quite a miracle to watch a child grow;
It takes a lot of little steps to walk out the door.
But once they find their way and they learn to have their say,
They grow brighter every day and teach us more and more.
Burn on, burn on, Electric Flame!

Today you light your way with an electric candle;
Today you’re licking frosting off a plastic cross;
Today you’re sipping juice from a practice chalice,
While your inner fire grows -- we feel it warming us.
Burn on, burn on, Electric Flame!

It’s really quite a miracle to watch a young person grow;
There are so many things they have to learn how to do.
And they have to always work harder and always be smarter
For their mother and their father and their aunties too. And they do!
Burn on, burn on, Electric Flame!

Today you light your way with an electric candle;
Today you’re licking frosting off a plastic cross;
Today you’re sipping juice from a practice chalice,
With the inner flame of someone who inspires us.
Burn on, burn on, burn on, burn on, burn on, burn on, Electric Flame!
