Small Fire Burning
Lyrics by Herin / Music by Herin, Whittle

In the half-light
Of a dying night
I contemplate my changing story

When a slow dawn
Keeps hanging on
I hesitate to face the morning

I find sanctuary
When I close my eyes
Dreaming without sleeping
Safe inside my shell
Keeping tomorrow out of reach

When will a small fire
Burn in the distance
Beacon of promise
On an uphill climb

Keeping tomorrow out of reach

What then shall I do?
Where shall I go?
Where shall I turn?
To whom shall I flee?

-Girolamo Savonarolo (1452-1498)
