        When you pass through the fire
        you pass through humble
        you pass through a maze of self doubt
        When you pass through humble
        the lights can blind you
        some people never figure that out

        You pass through arrogance
        you pass through hurt
        you pass through an ever present past
        And it's best not to wait for luck to save you
        pass through the fire to the light

        Pass through the fire to the light
        pass through the fire to the light
        It's best not to wait for luck to save you
        pass through the fire to the light

        As you pass through the fire
        your right hand waving
        there are things you have to throw out
        That caustic dread inside your head
        will never help you out

        You have to be very strong
        'cause you'll start from zero
        over and over again
        And as the smoke clears
        there's an all consuming fire
        lying straight ahead

        Lying straight ahead
        lying straight ahead
        As the smoke clears
        there's an all consuming fire
        lying straight ahead

        They say no one person can do it all
        but you want to in your head
        But you can't be Shakespeare
        and you can't be Joyce
        so what is left instead

        You're stuck with yourself
        and a rage that can hurt you
        you have to start at the beginning again
        And just this moment
        this wonderful fire
        started up again

        When you pass through humble
        when you pass through sickly
        when you pass through I'm better than you all
        When you pass through anger
        and self deprecation
        and have the strength to acknowledge it all

        When the past makes you laugh
        and you can savor the magic
        that let you survive your own war
        You find that that fire is passion
        and there's a door up ahead not a wall

        As you pass through fire
        as you pass through fire
        try to remember its name
        When you pass through fire
        licking at your lips
        you cannot remain the same

        And if the building's burning
        move towards that door
        but don't put the flames out
        There's a bit of magic in everything
        and then some loss to even things out

        Some loss to even things out
        some loss to even things out
        There's a bit of magic in everything
        and then some loss to even things out
