Full of Fire
Words and Music by John Underdown

V1- Oh my son, who taught you to act that way?
Well, it musta been your mom, 'cause that's not how I play.
I can see that wild spirit
Growing every day...
Oh my son, who taught you to act that way?

V2-Oh my child, you're proving Calvin right:
You run like a devil and buck against the light.
You're picking up bad habits
With a mind that's steel-trap tight.
Oh my child, you're proving Calvin right.

Chorus-I'm all ember, you're full of fire;
I set the bar and you raise it higher.
You bound off with a boundless heart,
I'm behind, groping in the dark.
Could you slow down for just one hour?

V3-Oh my son, how do you have such energy?
I haven't seen its like in all my history.
You're a flaring candle burning
Through ancient tapestry.
Oh my son, how do you have such energy?

Chorus

V4-Oh my child, I can't help but love you more,
Although you jump on me when I lay on the floor...
I may get exasperated,
But I won't call it a chore.
'Cause my son, I can't help but love you more.

Chorus
'Cause I need to catch that boy that's full of fire...
