Zem Bones

[Verse 1]
Been running on empty
Trying to fix it myself again
Sunday on my lips
But Monday in my chest
My friend
Bills on the table
Doctor saying
“We should talk”
I’ve been dragging this chain
Can’t finish this walk

[Chorus]
Hold me through the fire
When the heat climbs higher
When I can’t see a way
You make rivers in the flame
Hold me through the fire
I’m lifting up my hands
If I stand or if I fall
You still call my name

[Verse 2]
Mama in the kitchen
Humming that old chorus low
Tears on her apron
But her eyes still glow
She said
“Baby
He’s faithful
Seen Him move before”
So I’m standing on her stories
Till they’re mine
Once more

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[call-and-response]
Lead: I’ll praise in the middle
Choir: Right in the middle
Lead: I’ll sing in the smoke
Choir: Sing in the smoke
Lead: I’ll dance in the danger
Choir: ‘Cause I’m not alone
[full choir
Big]
You’re in the fire
You’re in the fire
You’re in the fire
But the fire’s not in me

[Chorus]
