        Fires are Burning

                 Ingemar Olsson

        Ujavut umlilo

        Tropical night in the jungle
        Under the stars in the sky
        Looking above as I wonder
        What is the world, who am I?
        Fires aflame in the darkness
        And the distant sound of a drum
        Something inside as a spark says
        I'm invited now to come
        See the world

        Fires are burning
        Ujavut umlilo
        Lighting up the darkness
        And the world that I don't know
        Fires are burning
        Ujavut umlilo
        I see the road before me
        And I know that I've got to go

        Inside the walls of a prison
        Somebody knows he's still free
        Knows that the fire is burning,
        Just so that people can see
        Truth is it's own way to freedom
        It can never be locked up by fear
        Leads the confident singing
        Of a song for all to hear
        In the world

        Fires are burning ...

        The jungle is deep and the road long
        But the people are mine
        The song they are singing is my song
        And I know every line
        The fire that gave me assistance
        Still burns when I finally arrive
        The drums that I heard at a distance
        Are still beating and alive
        In the world

        Fires are burning ...
