When you pass through the fire, you pass through humble
  you pass through a maze of self doubt
  When you pass through humble, the lights can blind you
  some people never figure that out
  
  You pass through arrogance, you pass through hurt
  you pass through an ever present past
  And it's best not to wait for luck to save you
  pass through the fire to the light
  
  Pass through the fire to the light
  pass through the fire to the light
  It's best not to wait for luck to save you
  pass through the fire to the light
  
  As you pass through the fire, your right hand waving
  there are things you have to throw out
  That caustic dread inside your head
  will never help you out
  
  You have to be very strong, 'cause you'll start from zero
  over and over again
  And as the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
  lying straight ahead
  
  Lying straight ahead
  lying straight ahead
  As the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
  lying straight ahead
  
  They say no one person can do it all
  but you want to in your head
  But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
  so what is left instead
  
  You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
  you have to start at the beginning again
  And just this moment this wonderful fire
  started up again
  
  When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
  when you pass through I'm better than you all
  When you pass through anger and self deprecation
  and have the strength to acknowledge it all
  
  When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
  that let you survive your own war
  You find that that fire is passion
  and there's a door up ahead not a wall
  
  As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
  trying to remember its name
  When you pass through fire licking at your lips
  you cannot remain the same
  
  And if the building's burning move towards that door
  but don't put the flames out
  There's a bit of magic in everything
  and then some loss to even things out
  
  Some loss to even things out
  some loss to even things out
  There's a bit of magic in everything
  and then some loss to even things out
