World On Fire - Big Country

Feel how the years have passed, rushing like a raging sea

Riding on the crest of a breaker, holding on to what could be

Never dreamed I could love a stranger, never doubted the mystery

Now living is pure adventure

'Cause I know, I know you’ll stand by me

Feel how the moods are changing, the nations of every creed

The symphony of every heartbeat, the movement for those in need

If tolerance falls to the wayside, if freedom is down on its knees

I won’t fall far with the sinners

'Cause I know, I know you’ll stand by me

There’s a reason, there’s a cause

We can benefit from playing all our cards together

Through the seasons and up to the stars

We could elevate a consciousness forever

But I’m gonna tell them

I won’t leave it, I won’t tire, I want to keep my sole desire

I wanna run it to the wire, we don’t need another world on fire

Liberate the real tomorrow, leave a chance for the mild and meek

Realize that time is borrowed, look ahead to the gift we seek

When the sea runs wild to the ocean, the river runs true to the sea

I’ll follow this dream with the tide

'Cause I know, I know you’ll stand by me

There’s a reason, there’s a cause

We can benefit from playing all our cards together

Through the seasons and up to the stars

We could elevate a consciousness forever

But I’m gonna tell them

I won’t leave it, I won’t tire, I want to keep my sole desire

I wanna run it to the wire, we don’t need another world on fire

There’s a reason, there’s a cause

We can benefit from playing all our cards together

Through the seasons and up to the stars

We could elevate a consciousness forever

Well I’m gonna tell them

I won’t leave it, I won’t tire, I want to keep my sole desire

I wanna run it to the wire, we don’t need another world on fire

I won’t leave it, I won’t tire, I want to keep my sole desire

I wanna run it to the wire, we don’t need another world on fire

World on fire
