“Self-knowledge is a wildfire and when it burns you. it turns your old self into ashes. Then it grows you stronger like a tree!”
—Omaira Falcon
lyrics
Lyrics:
Self-knowledge is a wildfire
And when it burns you
It turns your old self into ashes
And then it grows you stronger like a tree
Some say money is the answer
For the hungry at heart
So why are the rich sick with fear
And the poor sick with envy for the sake of money
This old self isn’t working let’s burn it to the ground
Burn, burn, do you feel the burn now
Others say the answer is to find a hero.
Someone to save us. But after so many heroes
Why, people keep suffering
This old self isn’t working
Let’s burn it to the ground
Burn, burn, do you feel the burn now
Hospitals are full with people
Asking for pain killers for the mind for the body
Doctors say surgery is the answer
You can buy a new body, a new brain, a new heart
But what they don’t tell you is the spirit
That’s something money can’t buy
Burn, burn, do you feel the burn now
The wind of change is coming
Do you feel it in the air tonight
Like an eagle flying across the sky
Its wings of fire burning and burning and burning
This old self to the ground
Burn, burn, do you feel the burn now
Who will stand up on his own tonight
Who will stand up on her own tonight
Who will stand up for self-knowledge, self-awareness
That the healing power of love lives within all of us
Who will stand up, who will stand up
Who will stand up for the truth that as the universe is, so am I
Who will burn, who will burn, who will burn, burn, burn,
This old self to the ground tonight
Burn, burn, do you feel the burn now
