Fields Of Fire
J. Bon Jovi
Demo, recorded at the "Keep The Faith" sessions, Vancouver 1992

There's no-one watching over me tonight and I'm afraid to turn out the lights,
If I close my eyes, it'll all go away and I don't wanna see it end this way.

There was a time when truth and trust meant so much more to each of us
And all the dreams that we once had have seen the sun and left us feeling bad

Now the changing of the guard has left us feeling so damn hard
I'll keep my distance, but I'm a little bit afraid
Through the years one thing hasn't changed

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass,
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
That's all I ask

Now maybe good is not good enough, I know they've changed but not that much
Maybe time has left us beaten up, I never was willing to give enough
I ain't the hero who gets the girl, but if I had my chance to save the world
I won't blow it now, I guess I'll understand
This boy is becoming a man

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
That's all I ask

Well, look at your hand, do you hear what I said.
Can you count on your fingers each of your real friends
I know that I'm lucky, I know I'm right.
Fingers turn into fists, we're here to take on the night.
That's right

Now I'm staring at an open door, we've had a lot, and I want much more
You can keep all the money, and the streets that's paved with gold
If someone gives me back my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
I would run through fields of fire,
I would run through fields of fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I would run
All the way back home, I would run,
Baby, come along
