Fire


Fire burns In the streets and in their souls Fire as powerful as Prometheus' Flame, A flame that ignited civilization Ignites a civil movement. The fire sparked by Fueled by an endless hope Controlled by no one. Nine souls Nine fires Scared and terrified They walk up the stairs Knowing they have the world's eyes on them. The door opens The barrier breaks The barrier that for so long kept them from sitting in a proper classroom. Nine souls Nine fires, Big Change In a Little Rock
