A Fire in the Forest Lyrics

There is always sunshine
above the gray sky
I will try to find it
Yes, I will try
My mind has been wandering
I hardly noticed
It's running on it's own steam
I let it go
Oh, here comes my childhood
A penny for your secrets
and standing in the window
not out here where it belongs
There's a fire in the forest
it's taking down some trees
when things are overwhelming
I let 'em be
I would like to see you
It's lovely to see you
Come and take me somewhere
Come take me out
There is always sunshine
far above the gray sky
I know that I will find it
Yes, I will try

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.
