   Here are some lyrics by Sarah McLachlan that mention fire.   
   I have read that in Hinduism fire is equated with creativity   
   and that Kali dances upon Shiva in the cremation ground   
   to bring forth new fire (which I relate to the sunspot cycle).   
   What is the symbolism of fire in your tradition and in other   
   traditions you know about?   
      
   In the desert of my dreams I saw you there   
   Walking towards the water steaming, body cold and bare   
   But your words cut loose, the fire and you left my soul to bleed   
   And the pain that’s in your truth’s deceiving me has got me scared   
   (Vox)   
      
   A glowing ember   
   Burning hot and burning slow   
   Deep within, I’m shaken by the violence   
   Of existing for only you   
   (Do What You Have to Do)   
      
   The world is on fire   
   It’s more than I can handle   
   I’ll tap into the water   
   Try and bring my share   
   Try to bring more   
   More than I can handle   
   Bring it to the table   
   Bring what I am able   
   (World on Fire)   
      
   Heaven bend to take my hand   
   And lead me through the fire   
   Be the long awaited answer   
   To a long and painful fight   
   (Fallen)   
      
   Take her hand, she will lead you through the fire   
   Oh and give you back hope and hope that you won’t take too much   
   Respecting what is left she cradled us, oh she held us in her arms   
   Unselfish in her suffering she could not understand   
   (Mary)   
      
   I will stare at the sun until its light doesn’t blind me   
   I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn’t burn me   
   And I will feed the fire   
   (Into the Fire)   
      
   (I’ve done the sun stare 27 years ago and hope to attain new fire   
   or creativity as the sunspot cycle starts to come up from its   
   current low. I have divined by perineum click divination that   
   Sarah McLachlan doesn’t need to do anything to bring me out   
   of the low years, but perineum click divination has been very   
   unreliable for me over the last 22.5 years.)
