Every one of us knows what it feels like to wrestle with the mind — chasing thoughts, resisting emotions, and trying to control the tides of experience. The opening verse of “I Am The Flame” captures this struggle: the shadows we fight, the sorrows we avoid, the restless chase for peace that never seems to land. And yet, beneath it all, there is something steady — a presence that isn’t touched by the storm.
That flame is awareness itself. It does not come and go with moods, victories, or losses. It does not flicker when sorrow arrives or when joy departs. The lyrics point to a realization: the turbulence of thought and emotion is like water rushing by, but the source — the presence it flows through — remains unmoved. When we stop trying to dam the river, we see the current for what it is: passing, temporary, incapable of touching what we truly are.
Awareness — your deepest essence — cannot be lost, stained, or broken. You don’t have to achieve it, fix it, or chase it down. It’s already here, burning in every breath, in every quiet pause, in the simple recognition of being.
I Am the Flame – Official Lyrics:
Awareness needs no fixing,
It’s already here.
I wrestled with shadows, tried holding them tight,
Fought with my sorrow, ran from the night.
But the more I was chasing, the more I could see,
The still flame of knowing was steady in me.
I am the flame that will not fade,
Burning the same through night and day.
Thoughts may wander, feelings may sway,
But I am the flame that will not fade.
I poured out my heart like a river wide,
Tried damming the currents, but still they collide.
Then I saw the water was never the source,
It flowed through a presence that stayed its course.
I am the flame that will not fade,
Burning the same through night and day.
Thoughts may wander, feelings may sway,
But I am the flame that will not fade.
You don’t have to seek it, don’t have to try,
It’s been here forever, it cannot die.
Pristine, timeless, steady and true,
Awareness is burning right here in you.
I am the flame that will not fade,
Burning the same through night and day.
Thoughts may wander, feelings may sway,
But I am the flame that will not fade.
The flame…
It will not fade.
