[Intro] Yeah… They say history repeats itself But nobody ever said we’d watch it burn like this Look around you… [Verse 1] Another headline bleeds, another mother cries A million voices silenced while the innocent die Scroll through the chaos — clickbait for the pain It’s hard to feel human when we numb it every day Politicians play their game, pockets gettin’ fat While we pray for peace but they keep pushin’ us back Truth gets buried under hashtags and trends We all crave connection but don’t trust our own friends The planet’s gettin’ hotter, the ice is gettin’ thin But we argue over nothin’ while the flood rolls in We’re chasin’ after dollars, chasin’ after fame But nobody ever mentions we’re the ones to blame [Chorus- sung, melodic] This world’s on fire, can you feel the heat? We’re standin’ on ashes underneath our feet We’re prayin’ for change while we stay the same If we don’t wake up, we got ourselves to blame World’s on fire… [Verse 2] Kids growin’ up in cities they can’t even breathe Dreams buried under concrete, hope on its knees They tell you pick a side, left or right, black or white But it’s the gray in our hearts where we lose the fight Screens in our face, but we can’t face each other We kill for the flag, turn our backs on our brother Every post a warzone, every comment a knife We build up these walls, but we all want life System’s rigged, yeah, the house always wins But they don’t see the rage that’s boilin’ within They don’t see the poets, the kids in the street Paintin’ revolution with the rhymes on a beat [Chorus- sung, melodic] This world’s on fire, can you feel the heat? We’re standin’ on ashes underneath our feet We’re prayin’ for change while we stay the same If we don’t wake up, we got ourselves to blame World’s on fire… [Bridge- spoken word style] It’s not too late to break the cycle Put down your guns, pick up your Bible Or your truth, or your love, or your reason why ‘Cause it’s gonna take us all to survive No more talkin’ in circles, no more broken trust No more kings on thrones while they bury us The youth got the torch — light it up, let it burn A new world’s waitin’, it’s our turn [Chorus- sung, melodic] This world’s on fire, can you feel the heat? We’re standin’ on ashes underneath our feet We’re prayin’ for change while we stay the same If we don’t wake up, we got ourselves to blame World’s on fire… [Outro] Yeah… When the smoke clears, what’s left behind? A chance to rebuild, a chance to be kind A chance to be human, a chance to be real The world’s on fire — but we can heal.
