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 There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site.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)

Remake of Single Heart tune with Fremont Street
Lyrics
You can't pick somebody up When you're putting someone down You can't keep your own hands clean Tossing dirt around If you long to be a righteous man The answer can be found In picking people up Instead of putting people down [Verse 2] There are so many times that we Are used by those who disagree With what we do or what we say And we are tempted to repay Word for word to justify our deeds But Jesus came and He brought a golden rule A word of life to fashion as a tool For blessing and not cursing and reaping what we sow And this is what the Lord wants us to know [Chorus] That you can't pick somebody up When you're putting someone down You can't keep your own hands clean Tossing dirt around If you long to be a righteous man The answer can be found In picking people up Instead of putting people down [Verse 3] There are so many things to learn So many lessons to discern How the tongue can be the devil's tool Of bitterness and strife So take these words and apply them to your life [Chorus] You can't pick somebody up When you're putting someone down You can't keep your own hands clean Tossing dirt around If you long to be a righteous man The answer can be found In picking people up Instead of putting people down [Outro] You can't pick somebody up When you're putting someone down You can't keep your own hands clean Tossing dirt around If you long to be a righteous man The answer can be found In picking people up Instead of putting people down If you long to be a righteous man The answer can be found In picking people up Instead of putting people down It's in picking people up Instead of putting people down August 18, 2025
