Big Country - World On Fire

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
