I strike a match
Light the fire
Not-
to watch the world burn
Rather-
to finally feel some warmth.
I play in the ashes
Footprints left behind
Not-
to get somewhere important
Rather-
to leave something I'll be remembered by
I say my prayers
Before I sleep
Not-
to get any sort of help
Rather-
to make the world a better place

I strike a match
Light the fire
Not-
to watch the world burn
Rather-
to finally feel some warmth.
I play in the ashes
Footprints left behind
Not-
to get somewhere important
Rather-
to leave something I'll be remembered by
I say my prayers
Before I sleep
Not-
to get any sort of help
Rather-
to make the world a better place
