Fires Are Burning

Ingemar Olsson

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 ...
