When the light’s turn ing down, they don’t know what they heard.

Strike the match, play it loud, giv ing love to the world.

We’ll be rais ing our hands, shin ing up to the sky.

’Cause we got the (D)fire, fire, fire.

Yeah, we got the (Bm)fire, fire, fire.

And we gon na let it (Bm)burn, burn, burn, burn.

We gon na let it (D)burn, burn, burn, burn.

Gon na let it (Bm)burn, burn, burn, burn.

We gon na let it (D)burn, burn, burn, burn.
