Like a Fire Songtext
von Solomon Burke

Why can′t I feel what I wanna feel?
Why can't I see what′s in front of me?
I'm always searching for a meaning
Why can't I go where I wanna go?
Why can′t I do what I need to do?
I′m always searching for a meaning

Why can't I be like a fire
That′s burning in my soul?
The desire, the yearning to be whole

Why can't I say what I wanna say?
Why can′t I go when my heart says no?
I'm always searching for a meaning

Why can′t I be like a fire
That's burning in my heart?
The desire that's tearing me apart

There′s a fire that′s burning in my soul
The desire, and a yearning to be whole
To be whole


Why can't I feel, tell me what I wanna feel?
Why can′t I see what's really in front of me?
I′m always searching for a meaning

Why can't I be like a fire
That′s burning in my soul?
The desire, the yearning to be whole

There's a fire and it's burning in my soul
The desire, there′s a yearning to be whole
To be whole

Fire, fire burning my soul

Why can′t I be what I wanna be?
Why can't I see what I wanna see?
See y′all really what I wanna see
Why can't I feel, feel, feel like I wanna feel?

It′s a burning desire
It's a love like a sure enough fire
Burning desire
And I feel what I need to feel when it′s real
Burning fire
