World’s on Fire ​H​ANSON

Watched from a distance it's beautiful
Somebody's caught in the undertow
Have you ever felt desperation
Cause the salt water's filling your lungs
We're in regret of where we sleep
Promises never meant to keep
When all that the shadows need
Is a good man to hide in a dream

Do they know that the world's on fire
Time is a price you can't afford
An empty glass and an open door
You get what you pay for in sweat
And a voice 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've got to 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
