Fire, fire, fire--burning!

Fire…

Chorus It’s burning so high and they can’t put it out

Don’t be ashame, don't be shy to sing and shout

This is love, yes your life--I no damn blasted joke

Mmhmm… reach above the sky, you make it I know

Verse 1 A whole lot ah people keep searching

For the truth because wrong-doing is hurting

The Babylonian system just not working

Teach us love--that's the first thing, hmm

Make hay--the sun shine today

Hey hey, what you got to say?

You can’t stay there, there's no time to play

Don’t you go in my way
