Born on Fire Songtext
von Ike Reilly

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
