    LYRICS
    THROUGH THE FIRE
    I look in
    your eyes and I can see
    We've loved so dangerously
    You're not trusting your heart to anyone
    You tell me you're gonna play it smart
    We're through before we start
    But I believe that we've only just begun
    When it's this good, there's no saying no
    I want you so, I'm ready to go
    [Chorus]
    Through the fire
    To the limit, to the wall
    For a chance to be with you
    I'd gladly risk it all
    Through the fire
    Through whatever, come what may
    For a chance at loving you
    I'd take it all the way
    Right down to the wire
    Even through the fire
    I know you're afraid of what you feel
    You still need time to heal
    And I can help if you'll only let me try
    You touch me and something in me knew
    What I could have with you
    Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
    When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
    I need you so, I'm ready to go
    [Chorus]
    Through the test of time
    [Chorus]
    Through the fire, to the limit
    Through the fire, to the limit

    Thumbs up if you could listen to Johann Mendoza all day. What a stunningly melodic voice. This man has it. The 2020s is the decade we came to TH-cam to hear the world's best contemporary singers.

    Brothers! This is not an easy song to cover. Chaka's range and power on this number are nothing short of heroic and I don't mind echoing from someone's previous comment, "the best male cover" that I have heard. And guitar man, you jammed the mess out of the song. BLESSINGS guys! -KB

    Do you ever hear or see something so immensely impressive that it borders on killing your own inspiration? Like this is so good that it both makes me want to go practice and improve, but I also know that I’ll, realistically, never be to come close to this level of talent. I can’t stop listening.
