There's a fire on the ground
Her burning is a joyful sound
All the crows are gone
And her pulse is strong
There's a fire on the ground
She has satisfied my needs
Only borrows what she breathes
All the oil in the ground
Won't make a sound
She's my little light that I have found
There's a fire on the ground
Burned my orders, ribbons too
No more medals, dead man's boots
Gonna find some friends that see me through
Burn it all and start a new
There's a fire on the ground
There's a fire on the ground
Gonna see that world fair
Cross that ocean if I dare
Gonna make my peace under a manchineel tree
Shake it loose and I'll run free
There's a fire on the ground
There's a fire on the ground
