WATCH THE FIRE BURN

Over distant mountains

The sky’s falling into the sea

The sun has been hiding

In the shadows of fading beliefs
 

Far away horizons

Hold the sounds and the colors of earth

It’s ageless and timeless

A painting for all that is worth

To be....
 

Just in a moment of silence

When you’re listening to the beat of your heart

You’ll discover the power

That keeps us from falling apart
 

 ‘Cause I’ve seen the lightning in front of my eyes

I’ve heard the thunder a thousand times

I’ve watched the fire burn

I’ve seen the rain falling from the sky

I feel the distance between you and I

I’ve watched the fire burn...........
 

There’s a truth in history

A rule that has never been wrong

It’s to believe in yourself

And let your dreams carry on
 

Maybe then tomorrow

If you’re strong in your will to survive

You’ll discover the power

The force that keeps us alive
 

‘Cause I’ve seen the lightning in front of my eyes

I’ve heard the thunder a thousand times

I’ve watched the fire burn

I’ve seen the rain falling from the sky

I feel the distance between you and I

I’ve watched the fire burn...........
 

I’ve seen it burn...................

I watched it burn……………
 

I’ve seen the lightning in front of my eyes

I’ve heard the thunder a thousand times

I’ve watched the fire burn

I’ve seen the rain falling from the sky

I feel the distance between you and I

I’ve watched the fire burn.............

I’ve seen the lightning in front of my eyes

I’ve heard the thunder a thousand times

I’ve watched the fire burn

I’ve seen the rain falling from the sky

I feel the distance between you and I

I’ve watched the fire burn.............

I’ve seen the lightning in front of my eyes

I’ve heard the thunder a thousand times

I’ve watched the fire burn

I’ve seen the rain falling from the sky

I feel the distance between you and I

I’ve watched the fire burn.............

I’ve seen it burn

Watch the fire burn

Watch the fire burn

It still burns.............
