Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
The Sun goes down like a photograph
You try to stop time in the aftermath
But it's gone, gone
Yesterday reads like a tragedy
I try not to lose what's left of me
But it's gone
Yeah, but we carry on
We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive
It feels like I could get lost today
The winds in my mind get swept away
And I'm gone, gone
And it's one last time to the wishing well
I throw down the change and I wish them well
But they're gone
Yeah, but we'll carry on
We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive
We are souls on fire (strength, heart, soul, mind)
We are reaching higher (strength, heart, soul, mind)
We are souls on fire (strength, heart, soul, mind)
When we come alive
When we come alive
We are fire
You and I
Oh! Oh!
We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive
When we come alive
When we come alive
Strength, heart, soul, mind
