Bodies Remember the Fire (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Coal drum glowing by the taxi rank

Sparks climb up past the wire fence

Old man's hand still stirring embers

Same fire since I don't know when

Grandmother's shawl smells like woodsmoke

Passed to me before the cold

Every ember holds a story

Older than the ones we're told

Pre-Chorus

Feel it moving through my shoulders

Feel it settle in my knees

Heat remembers every gathering

Long before these city streets

Chorus

Bodies remember the fire

Bodies remember the fire

Feet still burning

Bodies remember the fire

Verse

Concrete warm beneath my sneakers

Circle forming, hand to hand

Sparks and voices rise together

Nobody needs to understand

Same flame lit in every township

Same flame passed from yard to yard

Something ancient in the rhythm

Something none of us can guard

Pre-Chorus

Feel it moving through my shoulders

Feel it settle in my knees

Heat remembers every gathering

Long before these city streets

Chorus

Bodies remember the fire

Bodies remember the fire

Feet still burning

Bodies remember the fire

Bridge

Not a memory, it's marrow deep

Not a story, it's the coal

Every hand that fed this burning

Still moves through my own

Chorus

Bodies remember the fire

Bodies remember the fire

Feet still burning

Bodies remember the fire
