A Burning Hill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today, I will wear my white button-down
I'm tired of wanting more, I think I'm finally worn
For you have a way of promising things
And I've been a forest fire, I am a forest fire

[Chorus]
And I am the fire, and I am the forest
And I am a witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
And you are not there at all

[Verse 2]
So today, I will wear my white button-down
I can at least be neat walk out and be seen as clean
And I'll go to work, and I'll go to sleep
And I'll love the littler things

[Outro]
I'll love some littler things

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.
