Born On Fire

You came into the world

The day that all the Kings died

I felt the heat in your heart

I saw the flames in your eyes

For three days and three nights

You didn't sleep or even tire

Yeah, you're gonna burn bright

Cause you were born on fire

Don't let nobody try to dampen your flame

Try to cool you down

Try to make you change

Try to steal your heat

Or mock your desire

Take your flames to the street

Cause you were born on fire

Saw you playing in the ozone

Juggling all your time bombs

Skipping through the land mines

Made to cut you down

Cut you down

Made to cut you down

Well I've seen you bleed

And I've seen you bruise

And I've seen you rage

And I've seen you blue

But that don't break my heart

Like when you look me in the eye

And you ask me questions

Like where we going when we die

And who you're gonna love

And how you're gonna live

And will you be a poor one

Or could I leave you rich

I can't leave you no money

I can't leave you no land

I can't leave you no faith

I lost the little I had

But I can leave you this truth

Hold onto hope and desire

Take your flames to the streets

Cause you were born on fire

Don't let nobody try to dampen your flame

Try to cool you down

Try to make you change

Try to steal your heat

Or mock your desire

Take your flames to the street

Cause you were born on fire
