Ooo, it's a shame
Yeah, it's a shame, it's a shame

Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire

Love is dyin' today
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is dyin', I say
We're gonna fan the fire, come on along

Little children starving in a foreign land
Talk about it brother
Man afraid to take his brother's hand
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
Woman in trouble callin' but nobody cares
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
People denied the rights that are truly theirs
(It's a shame)

I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe the flame of love is about to die

Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
We're gonna fan the fire, come on along

Violence striking down great men of peace
Poverty in the homes and crime out in the streets
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
Kind-hearted people turnin' to hate
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
Man's about to destroy the human race
(It's a shame)

I believe, I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe
(I believe, I believe)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe ... it's about to die
(Fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe, I believe, I believe it's about to die

(It's a shame)
(Yea, it's a shame, it's a shame)

Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire

Love is dyin' today
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is dyin', I say
We're gonna fan the fire, come on along

I believe the flame of love is about to die
I believe the flame of love is about to die
I believe the flame of love is about to die
I believe the flame of love is about to die
