Lyrics Sophie B. Hawkins

Sophie B. Hawkins

Before I Walk on Fire

I lied

I stole in the name of fear

But I won't be silent here

I don't want somewhere to run to

I don't want somebody I can shake

Lord I want my dignity again

Before I walk on fire

You gotta look me in the face

I won't flinch

And I won't turn away

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for being scared

But I won't drop you there

Oh darling

Let me show you I love you

Oh world

Let me show you I care

I don't want somewhere to run to

I don't want somebody I can shake

Lord I want my dignity again

Before I walk on fire

You gotta look me in the face

Give me back my touch

Give me back my feeling

Give me everything

I want to be your witness

I want you to believe in me
