[Verse 1]
The sun goes down like a photograph
You try to stop time in the aftermath
But it's gone, gone
Yesterday reads like a tragedy
I try not to lose what's left of me
But it's gone
Yeah, but we carry on
[Chorus]
'Cause we are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive
[Verse 2]
It feels like I could get lost today
The winds in my mind get swept away
And I'm gone, gone
And it's one last time to the wishing well
I throw down the change and I wish them well
But they're gone
Yeah, but we'll carry on
[Chorus]
We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive
[Bridge]
We are our souls on fire
We are reaching higher
We are our souls on fire
When we come alive
When we come alive
[Outro]
We are fire
You and I
Strength, heart, soul, mind
