The Fire

Last Sunday I was busy chasing CoCo through the foyer during Fast & Testimony meeting when all of the sudden I had a vision as the follow was quoted over the pulpit VERBATIM:

We call them cool 

Those hearts that have no scars to show 

The ones that never do let go 

And risk the tables being turned 

We call them fools 

Who have to dance within the flame 

Who chance the sorrow and the shame 

That always comes with getting burned 

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 

'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire 

We call them strong 

Those who can face this world alone 

Who seem to get by on their own 

Those who will never take the fall 

We call them weak 

Who are unable to resist 

The slightest chance love might exist 

And for that forsake it all 

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire 

Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

If you're standing outside the fire 

There's this love that is burning 

Deep in my soul 

Constantly yearning to get out of control 

Wanting to fly higher and higher 

I can't abide 

Standing outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

If you're standing outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Standing outside the fire 

Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

If you're standing outside the fire 

This person actually tied it all in after quoting the song so it wasn't utterly distasteful and I was disappointed it didn't escalate further. As you know, I don't disclose people's names very often on this blog so the person shall remain anonymous. However, it was such a joyous moment that I had to add it here. My only regret is this person didn't get the "hand on the shoulder" from the Bishop and be asked to sit down.
