lyrics

Fire, Wind and Water ©Swampgirl Music
Written by Beth McKee and Gary Hirstius

I'm gonna get there, the best way I know how
I deserve the right to be there, I'll get to it somehow
And I know what it's like to be scared, it seems to confound me
I feel the breeze of a new fair wind to surround me

No fire, wind and water no walls of bricks and mortar
No mountaintops or hurricanes
No men of steel on horses or fields of burning crosses
Can keep my dreams away from me

I wanna be where the music is playing
There must me someone somewhere
Who hears what I'm saying
And I have wished and prayed for the bright lights to find me
I can see it in the distance, the long road's behind me

No fire, wind and water no walls of bricks and mortar
No mountaintops or hurricanes
No men of steel on horses or fields of burning crosses
Can keep my dreams away from me

I wanna be where the music is playing
There must me someone somewhere
No fire, wind and water no walls of bricks and mortar
No mountaintops or hurricanes
No men of steel on horses or fields of burning crosses
Can keep my dreams away from me

You’ll recognize the hues if you really wanna parse it, but if you just listen, you’ll hear a sound that is quintessentially Southern, tapped from the roots and rolls like honey. ... more
