Strange Fruit - Flame Still Burns
I live a life that`s surreal
Where all that I feel I am learning
For life has been turned on the lathe
Reshaped with a flame that`s still burning
And in time, it`s all a sweet mystery
When you shake the tree of temptation
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost
Of a paradise lost in frustration
And the flame still burns
It`s there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns.
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life
In my life, yeah
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
The unspoken words of my wisdom
Today, as the light starts to close
Tomorrow who knows who will listen
But my life has no language of love
No word from above is appearing
Or the time, and time is a fire that`s stoked
with the reason of hope and believing
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it`s there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer of then, it lights up again
In my life
Keep a rollin`, keep that flame still burnin`
Keep a rollin`, while the world keeps turnin`
Yeah, keep a rollin`
Yeah, keep a rollin` . . .
Where all that I feel I am learning

Of a paradise lost in frustration
And the flame still burns
It`s there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns.
