Hanson - World's On Fire lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Standing cold and scared on top of the hill <br>

Then came the moment when I lost my will <br>

I prayed for mercy, please don't take me away <br>

Voices in the distance, beautiful<br>

Somebody's calling beyond control<br>

Have you ever felt desperation?<br>

This whole world is filled with loss<br>

We will regret it when we sleep<br>

Promises never meant to keep<br>

When all of the shadows lead<br>

As a good man's hiding a dream <br>

Do they know that the world's on fire?<br>

<br>

Time has a price we can't afford<br>

An empty glass and an open door <br>

You get what you paid for in sweat<br>

And a voice says please don't forget<br>

<br>

Do they know that the world's on fire?<br>

Do they know that the time is now? <br>

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up <br>

Let your voice speak out <br>

Do they know that it's time?<br>

<br>

Caught in a maze you can't escape <br>

The flickering lights, and the colored lens<br>

The walls that we build just close in <br>

Until we decide to begin <br>

Are we distracted by the sun? <br>

The gleaming jewels, and the beating drums<br>

Is it going the distance we fear? <br>

Have you heard that we're already here?<br>

<br>

Do they know that the world's on fire? <br>

Do they know that the time is now?<br>

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up<br>

Let your voice speak out <br>

Do they know that the world's on fire? <br>

Do they know that the time is here?<br>

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up<br>

Let your voice be clear <br>

Do they know that it's time? <br>

<br>

Some will say we've gone too far <br>

We're on the edge and in too deep <br>

Some will say we're too far gone <br>

You can't erase the tragedy<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
