We Didn’t Start The Fire
She wanted to start
A Revolution
All those rules
She blew right through them
She wanted to speak out
But everyone pushed her down
Little Revolutionist
Your fire sparked up
But they blew it out
Yet you still held on
To a simple wish
And your words
They fluttered
To the depths
Of an eternal abyss
And there they found
Another revolutionist
Their fire had long been blown
By those who opposed
But your words
Oh your simple little words
They sparked a flame
That wouldn’t wane
And far and wide
We heard your cries
And we could tell your words
Were not spit with spite
But full of hope
That could never die.
Little Revolutionist
Go on,
Fly
