What's You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire

Oh children, what's you gonna do when the world's on fire?

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

Children, you have lost your way

You find yourself at the foretold crossing

One road to death and fire, one road to life in blue and in green, two paths

Oh sinners, what's you gonna do when the world's on fire?

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

You are not American

You are not American

You are not simply men, you are but a fragment of them all

Carrying but a small, small role that multiplies

Remember your instructions, at the end, you too, will return to soil

Oh kindred, what's you gonna do when the world's on fire?

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

You're gonna run

You're gonna run

You're gonna run to my door

You can join her in allegiance or perish in defiance

But you'll go to her in the end
