Random Fire
Words and Music by Steve Meko

I watched her burn...
A candle at both ends
Lost touch with family
Had passed the point of alienating friends
Coasting fast
Never using any breaks
Here at the edge
What's lost, and What it takes

She'd been riding on amphetamines
And Hadn't slept a night in weeks.

He left her cold
Fighting fires of his own
She had to straighten out
Take two jobs and leave her kids at home
A beaten path
She stood back and made amends
She had to pay a price
And dare to dream of things that might have been

She once held on to a tired dream
At times those dreams seemed out of reach.

I see you fighting with your Random Fires
Seems like a battle every day
I see you fighting with your Random Fires
Some die, While others fade away

She once held on to a tired dream
At times those dreams seemed out of reach

She was a light
Well I swear I saw her turn
Someone who'd seen it all
Walked through fire
Was not afraid to burn
This beaten path
Where she stood and made amends
She had paid the price
And dared to change the world that she'd been in

She once clutched on to a tired dream
And now that dream's not out of reach.

I see you fighting with your Random Fires
Seems like a battle every day
I see you fighting with your Random Fires
Some die, While others fade away
