Fields Of Fire Lyrics

Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me, against me
I know you feast
I know you feast on fire
I've got a wife
I've got a family in those fields
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me

I believe
In my mothers religion
And I will
And I will change
We go to church
We go to church on Sunday
And we're back drinking
Drinking on Monday
Oh we got by in the past
But how bout tomorrow
Oh Lord
I got a life in those fields, in those fields
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle the flame against me

Don’t set my fields
Don't set my fields on fire
Don't set my fields
Don’t set my fields on fire
Well my anointing waits
It waits in those fields
And if was true
Yesterday, then it's true
Today, today, oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Oh give me one more day

Oh Lord 
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God 
Don't kindle your wrath against me, against me
I know you feast
I know you feast on fire
I've got a wife
I've got a family in those fields
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me

Don’t set my fields
Don't set my fields on fire
Don't set my fields
Don’t set my fields on fire
Well my anointing waits
It waits in those fields
And if was true 
Yesterday, then it's true 
Today, today, oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Don't kindle your wrath against me
Oh Lord
Don't set my fields on fire
Oh God
Oh give me one more day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
