The Price of Things Lost In the Fire

Oh the price I paid for unrequited love A price too much to bear For I loved the one who lived in fear One to selfish to care When I counted up the cost It's a price I never should have paid I paid with my heart I paid with my future I paid with any children I would have hoped to deliver With no present loves in waiting I'm no longer sure they are a possibility I hold on the faith I hold on to God's love maybe Maybe one day the price will be cancelled By the love of his son But the price certainly did not relieve me of the consequences that still affect daily. Not a day goes by that I do not ponder upon the things I lost in the fire The fire of love The fire of fear The fire of selfishness The fire that ravaged the future
