[Verse 1]
We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing
Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race

[Chorus]
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
Cause we got that fire, fire, fire, yeah we got that fire, fire, fire
And we're gonna let it burn
Yeah, we're gonna let it burn
We're gonna let it burn
Yeah we're gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn

[Verse 2]
We don't wanna leave, no, we just gonna be right now
And what we see, is everybody's on the floor acting crazy getting loco 'till the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it up
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, there's no secret now

[Chorus]
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
Cause we got that fire, fire, fire, yeah we got that fire, fire, fire
And we're gonna let it burn
Yeah, we're gonna let it burn
We're gonna let it burn
Yeah we're gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn

[Bridge 2]
We can light it up up up
So they can't put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can't put it out out out
We can light it up up up

[Chorus]
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
Cause we got that fire, fire, fire, yeah we got that fire, fire, fire
And we're gonna let it burn
Yeah, we're gonna let it burn
We're gonna let it burn
Yeah we're gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn

Gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn
Gonna let it burn
Yeah we got that fire, fire, fire, yeah we got that fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got that fire, fire, fire, yeah we got that fire, fire, fire
