Lyrics What We Lost in the Fire - Troy Baker

What We Lost in the Fire

I lit a match today
I watched it burn away
All that I had, all that I’ve owned
All that I’ve wanted, all that I’ve known
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
I lit a match today
I watched it blow away
Yeah, they’re investigating
Sift through the mire
To determine the cause of this beautiful fire
Let 'em speculate to their hearts desire
This wasn’t arson it’s a funeral pyre
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild, bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
See the parade fall in line
Yeah, look at the diamonds in their eyes
Not just from the riches, nor from the gold
But from all of the sparkles that they found in the coal
Let them feel the warmth of their newfound desire
As they dance through the ashes of what they lost in the fire
Let it burn up to the sky,
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire
Ash in the candle, fortune in toll
Blissful indulgence as the future unfolds
The reed and the shaft will all burn away
With insurgence and splendor, listen as we say
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom that won’t be denied
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire, oh yeah
Oh, what we lost in the fire
