Keeper of the Flame (Album)

Keeper of the Flame - Miranda Lambert

Written by：Miranda Lambert

I'm walking in their footsteps

I'm singing their old songs

Somebody blazed this trail

I'm treadin' on

I'm bent but I'm not broken

I'm stronger than I feel

I'm made of flesh and bone

Not made of steel

I'm the keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

For the ones that came before me

For the little poly lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame

I've been burned out to ashes

Waiting for a wind

To carry me and start a fire again

Sometimes I'm just a flicker

A candle in your eye

But I swear to god

I'll never let it die

I'm the keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

For the ones that came before me

For the little poly lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame

When I'm drowning

When I'm fighting

When I'm screaming

When I'm hiding

When I'm losing

When I'm winning

I go back to

The beginning

Keeper of the flame

The teller of the story

Keeper of the flame

I'm not doing it for the glory

But for those little poly lights waiting to ignite

Like fireflies in the rain

Keeper of the flame

I'm the keeper of the flame

Oh

I'm the keeper of the flame

Oh
