Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...the best Gospel and inspirational A.I. music on the internet!
"firesong" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons Thanks for stopping by. It's my desire to faithfully share that which has been given to me. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family and friends, have done over past 45 years. There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site. Special thanks go to my partners in music, my daughter Amber, son Ian and the guys of Single Heart (Gene, Bob, Chris, Marty and Tata) who joined me to sing praises to the Lord down through the years. I also wish to thank those co-writers and artists that have joined with me in developing new music the passed few years to share on this website. I'm now featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence) groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs. I hope it's evident to everyone... that though the melodies and harmonies, styles and singers may change... JESUS has always been and will always be...the Song! ...this music is one simple expression of a very thankful heart. (Dan is a retired firefighter and ordained minister)

Story behind the song
Ronnie sent me this chorus almost 20 years ago and today i woke up and did my part...also added a version of the chorus of "He Set Me Free" words by Albert Brumley
Lyrics
I was a dead man walking Staring down the barrel of eternity Just a dead man walking Then Jesus came and pardoned me [Verse 1] I'd been in prison for so long I lost my will, my way, my song Living out my life sitting on death row [Verse 2] All of my hope seemed dead and gone I felt no reason to go on Nowhere to run, just no place to go [Chorus] I was a dead man walking Staring down the barrel of eternity Just a dead man walking Till Jesus came and pardoned me [Verse 3] Then I heard the Warden say There's a pardon on the Way If you will turn around, and just believe [Verse 4] So I gave the Lord my faith my heart He gave my life a brand new start Freedom for my soul with His reprieve [Chorus] No more dead man walking Staring down the barrel of eternity No more dead man walking Since Jesus came and pardoned me [Bridge] Oh, he set me free, yeah, he set me free He broke the bonds of prison for me I'm glory bound my Jesus to see Glory to God he set me free [Chorus] Oh no more dead man walking Staring down the barrel of eternity A brand new man is walking Since Jesus came and pardoned me Oh Jesus set me free!
