World's On Fire - Hanson

from the Stand Up, Stand Up ep

Music & lyrics by Hanson

Watched from a distance, it's beautiful

Somebody's caught in the undertow

Have you ever felt desperation?

The saltwater's filling your lungs

We will regret it when we sleep

Promises never meant to keep

When all of the shadows need

Is a good man to hide in the dream

Do they know that the world's on fire?

Time is a price we can't afford

An empty glass and an open door

You get what you paid for in sweat

And a voice that says please don't forget

Do they know that the world's on fire?

Do they know that the time is now?

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up

Let your voice speak out

Do they know that it's time?

Caught in a maze you can't escape

The flickering lights, and the colored lens

The walls that we build just close in

Until we decide to begin

Are we distracted by the sun?

The glittering jewels, and the beating drums

Is it going the distance we fear?

Have you heard that we're already here?

Do they know that the world's on fire?

Do they know that the time is now?

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up

Let your voice speak out

Do they know that the world's on fire?

Do they know that the time is here?

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up

Let your voice be clear

Do they know that it's time?

Some will say we've gone too far

We're on the edge and in too deep

Some will say we're too far gone

You can't erase the tragedy
