World on Fire
Our only home & it’s on fire. More hot than it should ever be, meltin’ every highway. We’re living in this world while it’s on fire. Each day catastrophe, but none of us can fly away.
Oh, oh oh oh oh We got our heads in the sand, glass forming all around. Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh They’re heating up every brand & they’re not backing down.
This world is on fire. Their pants are on fire. We live under fire. This world is on fire.
Look at our globe; it’s just aflame. So bright it can melt your eyes. Can’t look the other way. We can try; but we’ll never escape this game. We’re not on top of the curve. Last place in a race to burn, say:
Oh, oh oh oh oh We got to get to high ground, before it all burns down. Oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Poke our heads thru the clouds, beg for rain to come round.
This world is on fire (fire, fire) This planet’s on fire (fire) They’re playing with fire (fire, fire) This world is on fire (fire)
Everybody waking to their lies. ‘Cause we can see dollar signs in their eyes. Watching as the world blinks out of skies. Nobody knows of any other world, No place for boys or girls. But they’ll just let it burn, baby, burn, baby
This world is on fire (fire, fire) They’re setting a fire (fire) One big dumpster fire(fire) We’ll walk thru the fire (fire, fire) ••• Our only world & it’s on fire.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
