I see the flames of mischief The ones that Mean no harm Flames that dance and flicker Just out of reach from hand and arm I see the flames of sadness They burn low and dull The don't keep me very warm And disperse at the slightest rainfall I see the flames of happiness Warm cheery and red They fill the hearth And warm our hearts I also see the flame  of hate Tall and despairing Leaping from building to building Leaving nothing but ashes Try as you might Try to be like me But the only flames you'll ever see Are the ones that force you to flee

flames of life
I see the flames of mischief The ones that Mean no harm Flames that dance and flicker Just out of reach from hand and arm I see the flames of sadness They burn low and dull The don't keep me very warm And disperse at the slightest rainfall I see the flames of happiness Warm cheery and red They fill the hearth And warm our hearts I also see the flame  of hate Tall and despairing Leaping from building to building Leaving nothing but ashes Try as you might Try to be like me But the only flames you'll ever see Are the ones that force you to flee
