about
written by Stephen B. Antonakos
lyrics
A blade of grass under a tree
He looks up ands says,"That's what I want to be"
He spends his days reaching for the sky
He spends his nights dreaming he's that high
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A little wheel with a heavy load
Takes a lot of turns on a long road
Sometimes he pushes sometimes he tows
But that road he's on is all he knows
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A tiny star in the night
Can't outshine the moon, try as he might
The dawn has come, the sun it rose
The star fades away out of habit I suppose
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
He looks up ands says,"That's what I want to be"
He spends his days reaching for the sky
He spends his nights dreaming he's that high
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A little wheel with a heavy load
Takes a lot of turns on a long road
Sometimes he pushes sometimes he tows
But that road he's on is all he knows
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A tiny star in the night
Can't outshine the moon, try as he might
The dawn has come, the sun it rose
The star fades away out of habit I suppose
If he could, he would say
I don't know another way
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
A sound in my head like an oncoming train
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
Into this world a stranger I came
Anointed with fire, baptized in rain
