Tonight We Stand


Tonight lets stand around This fire burning so strong To night lets go of everything That we have held on to for so long Lets throw in the towel Lets watch it burn Let us realize It was all just lessons learned Let those long nights Of wanting more than you got Be lost in this fire And be remembered not Let those days When they pushed you down Be pushed under the flame And watch them drown Let go of that last kiss And everything that was said Let go and realize They will have to make their own bed People will reap what the sew And they will get what they have given Sometimes it takes time The past is unforgiving But tonight think back on all those times Remember them just once more Then throw them into the fire And watch them embers sore Let go of what holds you back How you wished the story would have ended Let this be a new beginning Make it everything you intended
