Middle of the Fire Songtext
von Above the Golden State

Well, she carries her troubles when she works at night
Carries her troubles when she works at night
Hides her tears underneath her eyes
So we don′t see her cry
She's a good, sweet girl but the world ain′t nice
A beautiful girl but the world ain't nice
The cruelty of man doesn't give her no choice
Or the chance to make right

The flame it turns on whomever it desires
And the righteous burn in the middle of the fire


Well, he makes good money but he can′t survive
Makes good money but he pays the price
He kept the house, she took their child
And he knows it ain′t right
Now he's gained the world but he′s lost his life
The whole wide world but he's lost his mind
What broke him worse doesn′t show outside
No will to fight

The flame it turns on whomever it desires
And the righteous burn in the middle of the fire
Yeah, the silver's worth the pain that it endures
And the faith is sure in the middle of the fire

Well, she carried her troubles to her knees at night
Carried her troubles to her knees at night
Prayed to God, "Am I still your little girl?"
With tears in her eyes
And the man made a deal that he won′t break twice
He made a good deal that he won't break twice
Prayed to God, "I'll trust you more
In the middle of the fire"

The flame it turns on whomever it desires
And the righteous burn in the middle of the fire
′Cause the silver′s worth the pain that it endures
And the faith is sure in the middle of the fire
Yeah, the faith is sure
