Burning In My Heart

Lyrics: Barry Flast
Music: Barry Flast

Sung by Jenni Muldaur with Kingfish for the 1998 album Sundown On The Forest.

Oh the sun went dark, and it scorched my heart tonight
They shot a man named John, now the dream is gone tonight
Where there's a will, sometimes the way gets confused
What good is a right, if it's so easily abused
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart

When they flashed the news, that's when I knew the blues tonight
They killed a well-loved king, gave us a song to sing tonight
And we sing on, try to remember the prayer
God has love for his people to share
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart

We heard that crackling sound when the trees came down tonight
Just like the gunfire round that brought brave Chico down tonight
Someday the rain will wash the nightmares away
But from the pain there'll be no easy escape
And I feel, feel the burning, burning in my heart
And I feel, feel the burning, burning in my heart
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart
And I feel something burning, burning in my heart
And I feel a burning, burning in my heart
