Can't You Feel the Fire
Steven Van Zandt (Blue Midnight Music, 1986)


Sometimes in moments of madness
Is the only time we clearly see
In a society that crushes desire

While telling us we've been set free
And the leaders we have chosen
Speak a language no one understands

We've been depending on the kindness of strangers
To lead us to the promised land
Ain't no thunder - lightning

Stronger baby than the truth
Can't you feel the fire - burning
It's your destiny unrealized

Can't you feel the fire - burning
It's been inside you all the time
I felt good I felt connected

I never thought about it twice
Ain't it hard to wake up and discover
You've been manipulated your whole life

Hold me a little closer
The war ain't so far away
There's hard questions that will have to be answered

We ain't waiting to ask them one more day
Ain't no thunder - lightning
Stronger baby than the truth

Can't you feel the fire - burning
It's your destiny unrealized
Can't you feel the fire - burning

It's been inside you all the time
