Lyrics World On Fire - Big Country

Feel how the years have passed
Rushing like a raging sea
Riding on the crest of a breaker
Holding on to what could be
Never dreamed I could love a stranger
Never doubted the mystery
Now living is pure adventure
′Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me
Feel how the moods are changing
The nations of every creed
The symphony of every heartbeat
The movement for those in need
If tolerance falls to the wayside
If freedom is down on its knees
I won′t fall far with the sinners
'Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me
There′s a reason, there′s a cause
We can benefit from playing all our cards together
Through the seasons and up to the stars
We could elevate a consciousness forever
But I'm gonna tell them
I won′t leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire
I wanna run it to the wire, we don′t need another world on fire
Liberate the real tomorrow
Leave a chance for the mild and meek
Realize that time is borrowed
Look ahead to the gift we seek
When the sea runs wild to the ocean
The river runs true to the sea
I'll follow this dream with the tide
′Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me
There's a reason, there′s a cause
We can benefit from playing all our cards together
Through the seasons and up to the stars
We could elevate a consciousness forever
But I′m gonna tell them
I won't leave it, I won′t tire, I want to keep my sole desire
I wanna run it to the wire, we don't need another world on fire
There′s a reason, there's a cause
We can benefit from playing all our cards together
Through the seasons and up to the stars
We could elevate a consciousness forever
Well I′m gonna tell them
I won't leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire
I wanna run it to the wire, we don′t need another world on fire
I won′t leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire
I wanna run it to the wire, we don′t need another world on fire
World on fire
