A fire burns inside of me
One that cannot be extinguished
It drives me onwards
It brings me to places I hadn’t known before

It’s been inside of me for as long as I can remember
In truth, I don’t know when it was formed
It’s a burning desire
Fuel that stokes the doer within

There’s a force, a catalyst within my soul
Something pushing me forth
A guide of sorts
A feeling of rightness

A beacon guiding me through the darkness
I don’t know where it came from
But it will never go
It was formed within me
A companion for my soul

The fire burns, it cannot be put out
It may flicker, it may waver
It may dim, it may wane
But the fire burns forevermore

A burning desire to do better
To want more
To strive farther than ever before
A fire burns inside of me
Whispering to me, telling me
Informing me of the rich rewards to come
Promises made, but yet to be fulfilled
Respect that’s yet to be won

It tells me to follow
Not begging, not pleading
I follow willingly
Not because I know where it will take me
But because I know it’s for the best

The path forwards is unclear
But my beacon is easy to follow
The fire burns within me
Lighting the way, showing me what’s ahead
A burning desire pushing me towards
What is right, what is good, what is best
A burning desire that promises success
