So the world’s on fire
But still here we are
Holding open hearts
To the roaring flame
Burning hot and higher
This is who we are
We are open hearts
We’re a roaring flame

No more waiting
For something to happen
We are making it every day
No more praying
For something to save us
We are burning to light the way

So the waters rise
Grieving mothers cry
We do not stand by
Drowning in our fate
Take your one hot life
Make it burn so bright
Fire with fire we fight
We’re a roaring flame

So the world’s on fire
But still here we are
Holding open hearts
To the roaring flame
