Lyrics

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 fire, fire, fire.

Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire, and we’re gon na let it 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.

And we’re gon na let it burn.
