Just a hard working man how he scraped to get by
Doing all that he could with his life to provide
There's no mountain for you left to climb
And now, your pride has surrendered to time
And when I look at you
See all the pain that you're going through
It's ok, you can close your eyes
Just whisper to me it's all right
I felt crossed, I felt burned
I felt your breath leaving this earth
I heard a voice
A power higher
It was calling me
Baptism by fire
You were always
No regrets, not a word left unsaid in the end
You're all that I wanted to be
And now, your legacy's safe here with me
He had a plan for you
You did everything you set out to do
It's ok, we said our goodbyes
Just whisper to me it's all right
And I'll listen for you in the night
I felt crossed - I felt burned
I felt your breath leaving this earth
I heard a voice
A power higher
It was calling me
Baptism by fire
I got the call Sunday morning
They said that you had passed away
Thank god I saw you on Friday
Said everything I had to say
These memories will last forever
Even when loss brings the rain
But now the Sun's shining upon you
Father, your love will remain
I felt crossed
I felt burned
I felt your breath leaving this earth
I heard a voice
A power higher
It was calling me
I felt crossed
I felt burned
I felt your breath leaving this earth
I heard a voice
A power higher
It was calling me
Baptism by fire
I felt burned
Baptism by fire
I felt burned
Baptism by fire
It was calling me
I felt crossed
I felt burned
I felt your breath leaving this earth
Baptism by fire
