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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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
suicide is a tragic event and we've all known someone who felt as though it was their only recourse...I wrote this with them in mind
Lyrics
When you search through your heart For what matters to you And it tears you apart Knowing what you've been through When you look in your life And there's nothing but pain Cause everything that's right got lost in the rain When the heart of the matter doesn't matter at all Cause your dreams have been shattered by the force of the fall There's a Friend who is waiting to carry you through To the Father above the heart of the matter is you When you look down the road and there's no hope in sight Well it's hard to go on when you can't see the Light When what is the matter is just the will to survive And finding a reason for being alive When the heart of the matter doesn't matter at all Cause your dreams have been shattered by the force of the fall There's a Friend who is waiting to carry you through To the Father above the heart of the matter is you God doesn't care about silver or gold It doesn't matter at all The Father above is reaching with love...to you When the heart of the matter doesn't matter at all Cause your dreams have been shattered by the force of the fall There's a Friend who is waiting to carry you through To the Father above the heart of the matter is you Oh, all that matters is you...yeah...yeah There's a Friend who is waiting to carry you through To the Father above...the heart of the matter is you
