Every Star Is a Burning Flame Songtext

von Andrew Peterson

I pulled the car off to the side and walked along a starry hill in Idaho
The golden moon was rolling by, the ridge was like a windowsill and I don't know
If I was on the outside looking in
Like maybe all the borders of the world were getting thin
And I could see the sky the way its gonna be again
Every star is a burning flame
Every star is a burning flame
Well, yesterday I trimmed the vines and spread the leaves along the ground in Tennessee
And I tried to hold it in my mind that all the light thats coming down takes ages to get to me
And I was on the outside looking in
I was lifted by a solar wind up over the clouds
And I could hear the hosts of heaven singing out loud
Every star is a burning flame
Every star is a burning flame
I remember Mr. Green and I were walking down a busy street in Louisville
The sign said? and looked around and all the people passing by were shining like the sun and beautiful
And the wonder of it caught it by surprise
Oh Lord I wanna see the world with those eyes
I wanna look into the night and see a million suns
Rise
Rise
All the heat comes running at the speed of light
From the reaches of space to these faces tonight
Every heart is a burning flame
Every heart is a burning flame
