Lyrics Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship

Lightning Rose

A song for a girl who lives for the future

A song of the Fremen [sic] Camps near the river

After the fall -- Before the Beginning

We build the watchfire every night

We control the water flow

We control the power from fusion

Reactor #12

The walls of the city crumble

I would sing a song fifty feet long

Sweet breezes on pine beaches

The sound of fire

Let it shine Let it shine Let it shine

Shut down the city lights I want to be with my lady

Build up the watchfires turn down the sun

I been too long in the green fields of rapture

I been too long without bein' on the run

Carry the fire from the heart of your lover

Carry the fire where the wild things run

There's a monster lurking deep in the forest

Let's go and get him when the mornin' comes

Rose I need you

Rose Can't go without your love

Rose I need you

I can't go without you

I won't go without your love

Oooh Rose do you remember all the dances

Remember the miracles and all the crazy chances we took on

Love, Love, Love -- I want to go beyond

Love, Love, Love -- let's go

Inside the walls of forbidden halls

Beyond everything I've ever hoped or sung

Carry the fire -- Beyond all desire

Carry the fire -- Brighter than the sun

Rose

Lightning Rose

Rose

I won't leave without you

I can't go without your love

Love is a fire in the Rose

She rocks me

Shut down the city lights I want to be with my baby

Build up the watchfires turn down the sun

Rose I need to feel you near me

Lightning Rose I need you to be strong

Come together warm around the watchfire

Come together till the mornin' sun

Open the floodgates and let loose the waters

Stand by the banks and watch the water run

Carry the fire to the heart of the darkness

Carry the fire each and every one

Carry the fire in your hands if you need to

Carry the fire the fire the fire

Let it shine

Let it shine

Look into the night sky

The walls fall before you
