It's been a long road, it's been a hell of a road
It's been a beautiful rose, it's been cold
I've seen a couple of people be bold

After they were told they didn't have it
I've seen a friend get shot down and go right back at it
I've been home, I've been alone and broken hearted

I've been inspired, writing about this spark trying to start a fire
Let's get inspired, let's start a fire
Forget the water, it's time to let the fire burn


It's time to let this fire burn
It's time to let the fire burn

Forget the water, let's make it hotter and let it burn
Just let it burn, gotta let it, let it burn


I've been lost, I've taken a walk
I've told myself to just keep walking away
But the friends that I've made, not one is the same

And there's something to say about the sun and the rain
I spoke with Ho Chi Min, he said he was dreaming of peace
Brighter than the flowers, taller than the towers

Like the mountain of bones that dropped me down to my knees
And wiped me off of my feet... come on, we've got to the fire burn


We've got to let this fire burn
We've got to let this fire burn
Forget the water, let's make it hotter

And let it burn
It's time to let the fire burn
It's time to let this fire burn

It's time to let the fire burn
Forget the water, let's make it hotter
And let it burn

Just let it burn

It's been a long road, it's been a hell of a road

It's been a beautiful rose, it's been cold
I've seen a couple of people be bold
After they were told they didn't have it

I've seen a friend get shot down and go right back at it
I've been home, I've been alone and broken hearted
I've been inspired,

Writing about this spark trying to start a fire
Let's get inspired
Let's start a fire

Forget the water, it's time to let the fire burn.
