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
