Songtexte World On Fire (Album Version) - Sarah McLachlan

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in, yeah, I'll try to hold it in

The world is on fire
It's more than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Tap into the water, I'll try to bring my share
I try to bring more (ah-ah-ah)
More than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able

I watch the heavens, but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's comin'
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

The world is on fire
It's more than I can handle (ooh)
Tap into the water, I'll try to bring my share
I try to bring more (ah-ah-ah)
More than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able

Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some

The world is on fire (ah-ah-ah)
It's more than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Tap into the water, I'll try to bring my share
I try to bring more (ah-ah-ah)
More than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able

The world is on fire (ah-ah-ah)
It's more than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Tap into the water, I'll try to bring my share
I try to bring more (ah-ah-ah)
More than I can handle (ooh-ooh)
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
