Lyrics of Flame is Burning

Day and night and all I do is dreaming
Pacing, thinking, staring at the ceiling
I wish I had the answers
I wish I had a courage to know

Everybody’s talking ’bout the reasons
And all I wanna do is find the feeling
I wanna feel the power
I wanna go to places I don’t know

If there is a light then we have to keep dreaming
If there is a heart then we must keep believing inside
Oh…

After the night there is a light
And in the darkest time our flame is burning
It shines so bright

Deep in the night love is the light
And in the dark our flame is burning
Our flame is burning

All my life been searching for the meaning
But now I know that seeing is believing
I wish I knew what life is
I wish I had the courage to go

If there is a light then we have to keep dreaming
If there is a heart then we must keep believing inside

After the night there is a light
And in the darkest time our flame is burning
It shines so bright

Deep in the night love is the light
And in the dark our flame is burning

An open window for love
And let the wind blow into the hearts
That were never apart, then you’ll know

After the night there is a light
And in the darkest time our flame is burning
It shines so bright

Deep in the night love is the light
And in the dark our flame is burning
Our flame is burning
Our flame is burning
