Lyrics to Playing with Fire performed by Avraham Fried joined by Bentzi & Shmuel Marcus (8th Day) at the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills concert 2008
There’s a place in your heart deep within
known as the Kodesh HaKodoshim
There’s an alter there
With a heavenly fire burning
That’s why you’re always yearning
That’s why you’re always yearning
This fire takes you higher if you
let it burn
Inspire your desire to
live and learn
If you ignore it
and don’t absorb it
brother, your playing with fire
Your heavenly fire
Its there to take you higher
and higher
and higher
and higher
This fire takes you higher if you
let it burn
Inspire your desire to
live and learn
If you ignore it
and don’t absorb it
brother, your playing with fire
Your heavenly fire
Its there to take you higher
Learning Torah, lights the flame, watch it glow
Come in out of the dark, lights the spark, watch it glow
A Mitzvah too has the power to ignite
Your soul down deep inside
Your soul down deep inside
Beneath the light, in a room, oh so dark
Don’t look too far, know right there, in your heart
There’s an alter there with a heavenly fire burning
That’s why your always yearning
That’s why your always yearning
This fire takes you higher if you
let it burn
Inspire your desire to
live and learn
If you ignore it
and don’t absorb it
brother, your playing with fire
Your heavenly fire
Its there to take you higher
and higher
and higher
and higher
This fire takes you higher if you
let it burn
Inspire your desire to
live and learn
If you ignore it
and don’t absorb it
brother, your playing with fire
Your heavenly fire
Its there to take you higher
There’s a place in your heart deep within
known as the Kodesh HaKodoshim
There’s an alter there with a heavenly fire burning
That’s why your always yearning
That’s why we’re all returning
