Little Women movie - Fire Within Me lyrics
rate me<br>
How do I go on?<br>
Just an empty room<br>
All I have are memories<br>
I need a task to do<br>
Someone give me a task to do<br>
I need a....<br>
<br>
I thought that somehow we would always have forever<br>
I thought the promises we made would have a different end<br>
I thought the love we shared would keep us as we were<br>
It was the fire within me<br>
<br>
We dreamed and plotted with abandon in this attic<br>
When we were gathered here the room became our citadel<br>
We were amazing then my sisters and I<br>
They were the fire within me<br>
<br>
In this room I knew we were alive<br>
Nothing was too painful to survive<br>
We faced the world together<br>
The four of us forever side by side<br>
Everything I promised was for them<br>
I was theirs no matter where or when<br>
How can that be lost forever<br>
How when I gave everything with all my heart<br>
<br>
Spoken:<br>
[It was several days before Christmas.<br>
It was several days before Christmas.<br>
My sisters sat about the parlor and grumbled about their fate.<br>
<br>
Meg, the oldest and most romantic said, <br>
"It's not fair some girls have pretty things while we have nothing."<br>
<br>
"And it won't be Christmas without presents," said Amy with her usual pout.<br>
<br>
"And we haven't got father to read to us," <br>
said Jo who yearned to travel and write great books.<br>
<br>
Only Beth, sitting contented said, in a tone so sweet, <br>
even angels would have listened, <br>
"But we've got each other."]<br>
<br>
Everything I promised them is here<br>
All of us we used to be<br>
We will always have each other<br>
They will always be the fire in my heart<br>
Here I go, and there's no turning back<br>
My great adventure has begun<br>
I may be small<br>
But I've got giant plans<br>
To shine as brightly as the sun<br>
Here in all the smallest details of the past<br>
Here in this attic suddenly life is something vast<br>
The four of us forever here at last<br>
As unexpected as can be<br>
Astonishing<br>
<br>
<br>
