Button up that shirt you're supposed to wear Don't forget your airline ticket or to brush your hair Show that family that you care But could you wear something that celebrates Everything you love and maybe what your family hates? 'Cause that might be what it takes
'Cause that's your fire, that's your soul You shouldn't have to go That's your fire, that's your soul You shouldn't have to go
First thing they say is, "Take off your shoes" And they'll say they want your story but they get confused By all those words you use A year ago your car went off a cliff And you saw an angel in midair who said you'd live Well that's a story you can give
'Cause that's your fire, that's your soul You shouldn't have to go That's your fire, that's your soul You shouldn't have to go
And they say, "You're family, you belong to us You can stay at home and have our love and trust Any day now one of us could die If we make you suffer don't you want to find out why 'Cause we love to watch you try"
With your fire, your soul, your soul It's your fire, it's your fire It's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire
Then you'll fly home and get the flu And you'll keep staring at the ground you always do When they get their time with you You are not a punching bag, my dear I think your darkest days should have some light this year Oh, I think you should stay right here
With your fire and your soul you shouldn't have to go It's your fire, that's your soul, you shouldn't have to go (Ohh) That's your fire, that's your soul, you shouldn't have to go That's your fire, that's your soul (It's your fire, it's your fire, it's your fire)
