THE LAST CAMPFIRE
Stone & Sparrow
[Intro]
Cold night wind across the pines,
Smoke drifts slow beneath the sky.
Far away the city shines,
But no one looks each other in the eye.
A lonely fire burns tonight,
Small against the dark unknown.
Not a blaze, not burning bright,
Just a few red embers glowing on.
[Verse 1]
The screens keep talking every day,
Telling us what we should believe.
Selling fear in different ways,
Teaching hearts and minds to leave.
Neighbors turned to different sides,
Brothers learning how to fight.
While the truth still tries to hide
Beneath the noise and flashing lights.
[Pre-Chorus]
But it’s not gone…
No, it’s not gone…
Something’s waiting for the dawn.
[Chorus]
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
Deep beneath the ashes,
Deep beneath the smoke.
A fire waits in silence,
A spark that won’t let go.
The world keeps sleeping,
Dreaming someone else’s dream.
But under the ashes,
The embers still glow.
[Verse 2]
Wars are rising far away,
Different flags and different names.
Leaders talk and soldiers pay,
Families carry all the pain.
This is not our human fight,
Not the path we’re meant to choose.
Every mother cries alike,
Every child has more to lose.
People gather once again,
Around tables, around fires.
Looking in each other’s eyes,
Finding hope beneath the wires.
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not gone…
No, it’s not gone…
Something’s waiting for the dawn.
[Chorus]
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
Deep beneath the ashes,
Deep beneath the smoke.
A fire waits in silence,
A spark that won’t let go.
The world keeps waking,
Slowly from the dream.
And under the ashes,
The embers still glow.
[Bridge]
One spark…
One voice…
One heart…
One choice…
No king, no crown,
No fear, no wall.
Can stop a fire
When it reaches all.
[Final Chorus]
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
The embers glow…
(The embers glow…)
Deep beneath the ashes,
Deep beneath the smoke.
A fire waits in silence,
A spark that won’t let go.
The world is waking,
More than it may seem.
And under the ashes,
The embers still glow…
The embers still glow…
[Outro]
One spark…
One fire…
The last campfire…
