SOUL ON FIRE (White Blossoms version)
When I was a little boy in an all-black neighborhood,
Well it was rough and tumble, a concrete jungle
Hard to do the things you should.
But I walked the straight and narrow, kept looking higher,
'Cause Jesus, he set my soul on fire.
When I was a young man, temptation was all around,
And the when the darkness finds you, it slips up behind you
Tries to knock you to the ground.
But I just kept on going, I was so inspired;
'Cause Jesus, he set my soul on fire.
One day a light from above shown down on my face.
And lifted me up to a heavenly place
I heard voices of angels on distant shores
And Jesus healed me and brought me back to life once more.
Now I am a grown man with a vision locked inside my heart
And I speak to men of their pride and sin and the need to be set apart
And I've been high flying, but I am not tired (?)
Because Jesus he sets the soul on fire.
