Standing cold and scared on top of the hill
|
Then came the moment when I lost my will
|
I prayed for mercy, please don't take me away
|
Voices in the distance, beautiful
|
Somebody's calling beyond control
|
Have you ever felt desperation?
|
This whole world is filled with loss
|
We will regret it when we sleep
|
Promises never meant to keep
|
When all of the shadows lead
|
As a good man's hiding a dream
|
Do they know that the world's on fire?
|
|
Time has a price we can't afford
|
An empty glass and an open door
|
You get what you paid 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 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 gleaming 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
|
