The Fire We Aim

Envy, Lust and Honor, gifts from above

Showing us how to use them to promote love

We can use them for corporal desires

But the second you do you extinguish the fire

Chasing the body, the praise, and the throne

Leaves a man empty, cold, and alone

You fill up the pockets but starve the soul

Each selfish step digs a deeper hole

But envy the friends and the path that they take

Lust for connection that none can fake

Honor the ones who walk truthfully near

And suddenly love begins to appear

Oh turn that fire, let it rise up high

Lift the friends’ hearts to the open sky

What burned for self now lights the way

Love in the ten grows day by day

What once burned wild for self and for gain

Now warms the heart and softens the pain

The same fierce fire that once pulled apart

Now lights the ten and ignites the heart

See the ten as new with each sunrise

No fault in the friend, just mirrors for the eyes

Take their desires, make them your own

Raise them together to the One on the throne

Oh turn that fire, let it rise up high

Lift the friends’ hearts to the open sky

What burned for self now lights the way

Love in the ten grows day by day

So turn it around when the ego takes aim

Don’t kill the fire, just redirect the flame

These gifts were given so love could be shown

A vessel of bestowal the Creator calls home

Oh turn that fire, let it rise up high

Lift the friends’ hearts to the open sky

What burned for self now lights the way

Love in the ten grows day by day
