“The Hunger” Song Lyrics

From the album, Unbreakable, by Fireflight

words and music by Dawn Richardson, Justin Cox, Glenn Drennen, Wendy Drennen, Phee Shorb and Ben Glover

Cut it out, cut it out
I know it’s what you’re wanting to say

Burning up, burning up
I know why you’re feeling this way

There’s an ache you can’t erase
A yearning that you can’t replace

And you want Him, and you need Him
But you act like He’s not there
Yeah, you know that you’re hollow
And something’s missing here
So you push and you pull the hole in your soul
But you can’t make the hunger disappear

You got a rusted out lock on your door
Getting ready to break
You’ve held back love long enough
I think it’s time to cave

You’re waiting for a sign
The fact is faith is blind

Do you want to spend your whole life jaded?
Stuck in a rut that you created
Why don’t you break the cycle?
Let love win

Fireflight Strong words, yet these are the very thoughts behind the title track of Fireflight’s latest offering Unbreakable. And they just might be on to something. Who among us hasn’t felt the need to dream again? To move past the things that beat us down, to feel (dare we say it?) unstoppable? It’s these daring sentiments that urged music execs at the NBC network to license “Unbreakable” for its fall promos of primetime TV show “Bionic Woman,” making the inspiring soundtrack into one of the definitive rock anthems of the popular hit series.
