Strike the match
Light the lamp
Let the flames catch
Light up the night
Let it burn bright
Everything in sight
But it’s not enough
The kindling’s rough
The ground’s too tough
The fire flickers out
Stamped into nothing
Strike the match
The wind picks up
It’s out again
Strike the match
Should’ve checked the weather
It’s raining
The fire’s lit
The fire’s dead
It’s blazing
It’s raging
It’s fading
It’s gone
I’m done
Down but not out for the count
I’ll try again another day
As long as I have matches
I’ll find a way
I’ll see the flames reborn
Or freeze trying
