World's On Fire

(intro)


Watched from a distance it s beautiful

Somebody s caught in the undertow

Have you ever felt desperation

Cause the salt water s filling your lungs

We re in regret of where we sleep

Promises never meant to keep

When all that the shadows need

Is a good man to hide in a dream

Do they know that the world s on fire


Time is a price you can t afford

An empty glass and an open door

You get what you pay for in sweat

And a voice says please don t forget


Do they know that the world s on fire
Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you ve got to stand up stand up

Use your voice speak out

Do they know that it s time


Caught in a maze you can t escape

The flickering lights and the colored lens

The walls that we build just close in

Until we decide to begin

Are we distracted by the sun

The glittering jewels and the beating drums

Is it going the distance we fear

Have you heard that we re already here


Do they know that the world s on fire
Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you ve got to stand up stand up

Use your voice speak out

Do they know that the world s on fire
Do they know that the time is here

Do they know that you ve got to stand up stand up

Let your voice be clear

Do they know that it s time


Some will say we ve gone to far

We re on the edge, we re in too deep

Some will say we re too far gone

You can t erase a tragedy

(solo)

Do they know that the world s on fire

Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you ve got to stand up stand up

You ve got to stand up stand up

Do they know that the world s on fire
Do they know that the time is here

Do they know that you ve got to stand up stand up

Let your voice be clear

Do they know that it s time

Do they know, do they know
