Lyrics

We,

’cause we got the fire

and we’re burn ing one hell of a some thing.

They, sic sounds, I’m wak they’re gon na see us from out er space, out er space.

Light it up now, we've got like we’re the stars of the hu man race, hu man race.

When the light start ed out, 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 (Db)fire, fire, fire.

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

And we're gon na let it (CN.C.)burn, burn, burn, burn.

We're gon na let it burn, burn, burn, burn.

Gon na let it burn, burn, burn, burn.

We're gon na let it burn, burn, burn burn.

We don’t wan na (CN.C.)leave,

And what we see

and we’re is ev ’ry bod y’s on the floor act ing cra zy get ting low go till the lights Mu sic sounds, I’m wak ing up, we fight the fire and we burn it up.

And it’s o now, we've got the love, and we're sleep ing now, we're ing now.

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 (Db)fire, fire, fire.

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

And we're gon na let it (CN.C.)burn, burn, burn, burn.

We're gon na let it burn, burn, burn, burn.
