Smoke Signals

lyrics

You always have to remind yourself when you’re in the middle of a bad bout that...it ends.

I’ve been fighting for my life
But the shadows finally run me down
Now this forest is closing in, closing in
And I can’t make a sound, I can’t make a sound
I’ve got to get to higher ground
To ignite the spark left in me
Oh the air is thick with doubt
But I’ve got to find my way out

I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s smoke there is fire
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s hope there is desire to go on
Searching for the light
When standing in the sun
I may be lost but I’m not done
I’m sending smoke signals

I could just give in
(I love you)
Let the ground swallow me, swallow me
(You’re my heart)
But what’s this all been for
If not to be free, if not to be free?
I remember better days
I hold them close to my chest
Cause even the smallest star
Still shines in the darkness

I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s smoke there is fire
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s hope there is desire to go on
Searching for the light
When standing in the sun
I may be lost but I’m not done
I’m sending smoke signals

Smoke signals (repeated, w/ choir)
Can you hear me? (repeated, w/ choir)
I’m still here

You may not feel the significance of your life but I know my life would not be anywhere near as rich if you were not in it. I know you think I’m strong and I know it and you’ve told me that many times but baby I got nothin’ on you.
