lyrics

They try to put it out, but the fire’s still burning (so hot)
Tried to keep us down, yet we keep on coming (can’t stop)
A conscious humankind is where we’re returning (yeah, the time is right)
Freedom free from fear is what we’re deciding (Time to take back our lives)

These are the days we have,
Dripping through the hourglass,
The past is left behind,
Yet we still remain confined (let go),

They try to put it out, but the fire’s still burning (so hot)
Tried to keep us down, yet we keep on coming (can’t stop)
A conscious humankind is where we’re returning (yeah, the time is right)
Freedom free from fear is what we’re deciding (Time to take back our lives)

Can’t let them hold us down,
Life can be turned back around,
Anxious thoughts we are fed,
Ricochet inside our heads (all lies),

Try and put it out but our fire is still burning
Take Back your life
You’re the one who holds all the control,
Don’t late hate come in, (it) withers your soul,
Try to see if there’s another way,
Let the light destroy all dismay,

Try and put it out but the fire’s still Burning,
Try and keep us down but we keep on coming.
