lyrics
(hey! ...hey!) (the log drum answers) Red dust road taught me my stride Brass bangles sing on either side They said the well ran dry for me I walked until I found the sea (walk! walk!) Put your sorrow on my head (on my head) I've carried heavier instead (heavier, heavier) I carry fire, I don't burn I carry fire, I don't burn Watch the whole horizon turn I carry fire, I don't burn (fire! fire!) My mother's wrapper round my hips Her thunder sleeping on my lips The drum remembers every name It calls, I answer, I'm the flame (the flame!) (eh-eh, eh-eh) Low like embers... then we rise (rise! rise!) I carry fire, I don't burn I carry fire, I don't burn Watch the whole horizon turn I carry fire, I don't burn (fire! fire!) (fire... don't burn...)
