| I’ve got some oil and some matches |
| You know I would do anything for you |
| Whether for light or for ashes |
| All of us burn for something |
| The greatest risk, the greatest wonder |
| Some of the time we are stolen |
| Most of us live our lives as thieves |
| So how could you know that I could be trusted? |
| How could you know that I just know that I won’t leave? |
| Always waiting for someone to be sure |
| Always praying that we’ll be ready for |
| The bravest wish, the going under |
| The greatest risk, the greatest wonder |
| You cannot give somebody joy |
| But you can find it by trying |
| You can’t save someone from death |
| But you can love them while they’re dying |
| Always waiting for someone to be sure |
| Always praying that we’ll be ready for |
| I’m ready, I’m ready, so give me something pure |
| The bravest wish, the going under |
| The greatest risk, the greatest wonder |
