There's a wildfire on the mountain Burning up forest The years have made dry You can see it comin' It don't matter You can run But there's no place to hide All night we kept pouring water Drained the pond But the flames burned bright Through the smoke and from the ashes We could see all we built When it died Oh, the world keeps on turning Oh, this fire won't die Oh, rivers keep moving You can jump in the current Or get lost in the tide Heavy-hearted, heavy-burdened I could see you were tired of the fight All the years spent singing verses With no sign of a chorus in sight Raise your voice Oh, my sister Tell the world you won't lay down and die You're so pretty When falling, angel Gotta jump from the nest Where you hide Oh, the world keeps on turning Oh, this fire won't die Oh, rivers keep moving You can jump in the current Or get lost in the tide Oh, the world keeps on turning Oh, this fire won't die Oh, rivers keep moving You can jump in the current Or get lost in the tide
