The World Is On Fire |
She looked out the window and said, «The world’s on fire» |
That’s when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine |
We just stared at the TV tryin' to find some meanin' |
Hopin' that we’d wake up from this dream |
Sometime tomorrow |
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing had changed |
That’s when I saw a tear fall from her eyes |
She said, «What are we gonna do? |
What’s this world comin' to?» |
For the first time in my whole life |
I stood there speechless |
The load is heavy and the road is long |
And we’ve only begun to fight |
We just can’t give in, we just can’t give up |
We must go boldly into the darkness |
And be the light |
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers |
To the questions weighin' on my mind |
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid? |
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth |
Afraid of each other |
This ain’t the country my grandfather fought for |
But I still see the hate he fought against |
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor |
Give warmth to the huddled masses |
And I’ll show you freedom |
The load is heavy and the road is long |
And we’ve only begun to fight |
We just can’t give in, we just can’t give up |
We must go boldly into the darkness |
And be the light |
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring |
I worry 'bout the world she’s comin' into |
But she’ll have my fight, she’ll have her mama’s fire |
If anyone builds a wall in her journey |
Baby, bust right through it |
The load is heavy and the road is long |
And we’ve only begun to fight |
We just can’t give in, we just can’t give up |
We must go boldly into the darkness |
The load is heavy and the road is long |
And we’ve only begun to fight |
We just can’t give in, we just can’t give up |
We must go boldly into the darkness |
And be the light |
