Still I Burn

Swamp mist rising, breathin’ in the night  
Mud on my boots, but I’m holdin’ tight  
Every step’s a weight I drag  
Ghosts behind me in a tattered flag  
Lightning cracks, the rhythm hits  
I move through shadows, never quit  
I walk the swamp but I see the sun  
Out in the haze, where the light will run  
It’s a fight, yeah, but I won't turn 'round  
There’s a fire in my soul and it won't die down  
Echoes hum through twisted trees  
I dance with doubt, but I find my peace  
Beats thump deep in my marrow  
Hope cuts through like a steel-tipped arrow  
I walk the swamp but I see the sun  
Out in the haze, where the light will run  
It’s a fight, yeah, but I won't turn 'round  
There’s a fire in my soul and it won't die down  
Rain falls heavy, but I raise my head  
The blues still burn, but I live instead  
Thorns and roots, they scratch and sting  
But I'm pushin' through for what life brings  
I walk the swamp but I see the sun  
Out in the haze, where the light will run  
It’s a fight, yeah, but I won't turn 'round  
There’s a fire in my soul and it won't die down  
Yeah, there’s fire in my soul and it won't die down
