Between fire and faith

Between Fire and Faith

by Robert Ramage

Intro (spoken / soft guitar picking)
I met you somewhere between truth and illusion…
Between a guarded heart… and a leap of faith.
You said forever…
I said slow down…
But somehow we kept walking toward each other anyway.

Verse 1
You came in like a midnight storm with a halo in your eyes
Said the past don’t define you, just a story left behind
Broken roads and heavy nights, scars you couldn’t hide
And I saw more than pain there — I saw something still alive.

Verse 2
Thirty-five years between us, but the silence felt the same
You said age is just a number when two souls feel the flame
I ain’t rich, I ain’t famous, just a working man’s hands
But you held them like treasure… like you finally understand.

Chorus
We’re standing between fire and faith
Between what’s real and what might break
Hearts wide open but learning to wait
Walking that line between fire and faith.
If love is a gamble, I’ll raise the stakes
But I won’t lose myself for heaven’s sake
We’re writing a story no past can erase
Somewhere between fire… and faith.

Verse 3
You said I was your home, said you’d never let me go
But forever’s a promise only time can really show
I ain’t here to save you, and you ain’t here to save me
We’re just two restless spirits trying hard to believe.

Verse 4
Million thoughts like thunder rolling wild inside my head
Every word you whisper pulling heartstrings made of lead
I want the truth unfiltered, not a dream we fabricate
Cause real love ain’t possession — it’s the choice we recreate.
Bridge (build intensity)
I don’t need perfection… I just need the truth
No chains, no cages… just me and you
If we fall, we fall honest — no disguise
No borrowed wings… just open skies.

Final Chorus (big, powerful)
We’re standing between fire and faith
Learning the rhythm our hearts create
Not rushing the moment… not tempting fate
Just walking that line between fire and faith.
And if tomorrow comes and the lights don’t fade
We’ll know this love wasn’t just a masquerade
Two souls choosing — not trying to escape
Living between fire… and faith.

Outro (soft, reflective)
Not yours… not mine…
Just two hearts… choosing every time.

rock/blues modern power ballad with a rising emotional edge (think classic heart-on-sleeve rock).
