Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...the best Gospel and inspirational A.I. music on the internet!
"firesong" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons Thanks for stopping by. It's my desire to faithfully share that which has been given to me. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family and friends, have done over past 45 years. There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site. Special thanks go to my partners in music, my daughter Amber, son Ian and the guys of Single Heart (Gene, Bob, Chris, Marty and Tata) who joined me to sing praises to the Lord down through the years. I also wish to thank those co-writers and artists that have joined with me in developing new music the passed few years to share on this website. I'm now featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence) groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs. I hope it's evident to everyone... that though the melodies and harmonies, styles and singers may change... JESUS has always been and will always be...the Song! ...this music is one simple expression of a very thankful heart. (Dan is a retired firefighter and ordained minister)

Story behind the song
Adapted from a poem by Buddy Sutton written in 2008
Lyrics
On a long, lost, lonely highway standing in the rain Trying to catch a ride and make it home I squandered all my riches not a penny to my name Now there’s nowhere left to hide out on this road I just pray He can forgive me for all the things I’ve done I broke my Father’s heart and His command I left Him there behind me I’m the wayward one Now it’s cost me all I have and all I am Please, take me home to where I long to be Back in the loving arms that cradled me Back to the place where my Father’s love and faith are always strong I need to go back home where I belong Too many years I’ve wasted and I’m the one to blame I stumbled and I fell out of grace and into shame The bitter things I’ve tasted have only brought me pain Now, I’m hoping that forgiveness is waiting at the gate Take me home to where I long to be Back in the loving arms that cradled me Back to the place where my Father’s love and faith are always strong I need to go back home where I belong I'm gonna rise up and seek my Father’s face I need His love I need forgiveness and grace Home... where I long to be Back in the loving arms that cradled me Back to the place where my Father’s love and faith are always strong I need to go back home where I belong Back to the place where my Father’s love and faith are always strong I need to go back home where I belong I need to go back home where I belong...
