World's On Fire - Hanson

World's on fire

Watched from a distance it's beautiful

Somebody's caught in the undertow

Have you ever felt desperation

Cause the salt water's filling your lungs

We're in regret of where we sleep

Promises never meant to keep

When all that the shadows need

Is a good man to hide in a dream

Do they know that the world's on fire

Time is a price you can't afford

An empty glass and an open door

You get what you pay for in sweat

And a voice says please don't forget

Do they know that the world's on fire

Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up

Let your voice speak out

Do they know that it's time

Caught in a maze you can't escape

The flickering lights and the colored lens

The walls that we build just close in

Until we decide to begin

Are we distracted by the sun

The glittering jewels and the beating drums

Is it going the distance we fear

Have you heard that we're already here

Do they know that the world's on fire

Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up

Use your voice speak out

Do they know that the world's on fire

Do they know that the time is here

Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up

Let your voice be clear

Do they know that it's time

Some will say we've gone to far

We're on the edge, we're in too deep

Some will say we're too far gone

You can't erase a tragedy

Do they know that the world's on fire

Do they know that the time is now

Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up

You've got to stand up stand up

Do they know that the world's on fire

Do they know that the time is here

Do they know that you've got to stand up stand up

Let your voice be clear

Do they know that it's time

Do they know, do they know
