Burn Lyrics

[00:11.07] We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing (nothing, nothing)
[00:15.78] 'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something (something, something)
[00:21.78] They, they're gonna see us from outer space, outer space
[00:27.00] Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race
[00:32.53] When the light started out, they don't know what they heard
[00:38.07] Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
[00:43.76] We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
[00:49.06] 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
[00:51.61] Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
[00:54.24] And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[00:57.12] We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:00.07] Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:02.61] We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:05.55] We don't wanna leave, no, we just wanna be right now, right, ri-ri-right now
[01:10.88] And what we see is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out
[01:17.04] Music's on, I'm waking up, we fight the fire, then we burn it up
[01:22.39] And it's over now, we got the love, there's no sleeping now, no sleeping now (no sleeping)
[01:27.85] When the light started out, they don't know what they heard
[01:33.16] Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
[01:38.81] We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
[01:44.28] 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
[01:46.97] Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
[01:49.39] And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:52.21] We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:55.10] Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[01:57.72] We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
[02:00.99] When the light started out, they don't know what they heard
[02:06.46] Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
[02:11.62] We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[02:17.94] Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[02:22.75] We can light it up, up, up
[02:25.10] So, they can't put it out, out, out

[02:45.01] When the light started out, they don't know what they heard
[02:50.43] Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
[02:55.92] We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
[03:01.43] 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
