Gerald Potts - Fireplace

I saw the angel in the sky, He looked at me as if to say my son I know you're trying
But you've fallen far behind
I didn't know which way to go so I ran inside and locked the door
But He walked right through the walls and then suddenly I was blinded to the time
I was in and where I thought I needed to begin
So I broke down and started crying
Then He looked me in the eye and this is what I heard Him say
My son don't you cry to me now pack your bags it's time to leave
we're going on a journey yes you'll leave this all behind
You may not know which way to go but trust me son you'll know for sure
The path that you will need to take in your own due time
I said why do you flip me upside down I was finally on solid ground
You know the place I live already has a fireplace
He told me son don't you know a fireplace don't needs good fuel
To make the fire grow
I ran up to the attic door I reached right up and pulled the cord
A stairway fell revealing a decision in my fate
I could go and hide away till a bad day sends me to my grave
Or run outside on the porch and realize just what I knew all along
I can't control who I'm meant to be or where I came from
So I packed my car and drove away
With this word still repeating behind my starry gaze
My son don't you cry to me now pack your bags it's time to leave
You're going on a journey yes you'll leave this all behind
You may not know which way to go but trust me son you'll know for sure
The path that you will need to take in your own due time
I said why do you flip me upside down I was finally on solid ground
You know the place I live already has a fireplace
He told me son don't you know a fireplace don't needs good fuel
To make the fire grow
Light me up burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh light me up and burn me down throw my ashes in the wind
You know I'll have a brand new face when I see this town again
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
