I was baptized by fire I think how all the bad times transpired Been runnin’ my whole damn life, I’m tired I never had a chance, I had the lighter Baby, I was baptized by fire I think how all the bad times transpired Been runnin’ my whole damn life, I’m tired I never had a chance, I was baptized by fire I don’t fit in, I don’t belong I tried to swim but couldn’t float for long Baptized in sin and broken bonds But I won’t give in, my hope is strong Born afraid as a sinner with a noble cause On the bank of the river with open palms I prayed to convince ‘em we could both be wrong Couldn’t think of the words, so I wrote this song I know I’m off putting, not known for niceness But I never lost footing, all I’ve shown is kindness Though we’re better off left to our own devices That’s little consolation to a soul in crisis The little complications are so divisive I don’t wanna die all alone and frightened When I close my eyelids, all cold and lifeless Just know that I did not go in silence Baby, I was baptized by fire I think how all the bad times transpired Been runnin’ my whole damn life, I’m tired I never had a chance, I was baptized by fire Drifted through the darkness till I found the light Said listen to your heart, kid. That’s sound advice When I was a kid, I almost drowned and died I guess I tried my best to forget it happened But my stepdad tried to let it happen Sittin’ back and doin’ nothin’ was his best reaction A real man would’ve taken defensive action Imagine how much hatred that meant he had in His heart for me. It’s hard to breathe Three brothers, two sisters - we hardly speak We weren’t raised together. I prayed I could change the weather. It felt like it’d rain forever But that’s just the way it went for me Nine years was the age discrepancy We never seemed to be on the same trajectory They never used the same yardstick to measure me I was baptized by fire I think how all the bad times transpired Been runnin’ my whole damn life, I’m tired I never had a chance, I had the lighter Baby, I was baptized by fire I think how all the bad times transpired Been runnin’ my whole damn life, I’m tired I never had a chance, I was baptized by fire
