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>
