My pride hates the heat
but my soul is drawn to the flame
the one that purifies me
and causes me to change

I�ve tried to avoid it
I�ve tried to turn and run
but my heart won�t let me not see
what you want me to become

Nothing else matters
Nothing else is true
Nothing else sustains me
like the love I�ve found in you

So I�ll walk through the fire
I�ll walk toward the light
this is my desire
to be by your side
I�ll not be afraid
no matter what you do
whatever it takes
to make me more like you.
