Lyrics

If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones

Don't burn my bones
Don't burn me down

If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
Don't burn my bones

Don't cry for me
Sing like trees
and dance like falling water
When they curse my name
Would you fight my corner?

Endless
Endless
Endless
Endless

If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
Don′t burn me down

Shake the walls
Cave the floor
Raise thе dust
That gave me form

Let thе spirits pour
Ceiling knit the wool
It's pulled from your lungs

Let my songs move the room
Let my wrongs turn to dust
Let my words live in you
Let my sun never burn

My sons will know my ways
Familiar as their names
And carry mine with grace
And pride in their chest

Let lovers now and passed
Still feel me in their hearts
Still feel me in their thighs

Don′t come in black or white
Come bright as pride
With smiles as wide as mine
And laughs as long as the nile

If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
If my light ever should go
Feed my fire don't burn my bones
Don't burn my bones
