Lyrics

My mama always said I was born for this
And some people wouldn't like that I was different
It never really mattered how hard it would be
'Cause she filled me with love and the strength to lead, she said
"Ooh-ah"
"That kid's a flame"
Said: "Ooh-ah"
"That kid's a flame"
"He's gonna burn something down if you get in his way"
I came to light it up
Light it up, light it up
If I was born to be a flame, then I wanna light a bonfire
Light it up, light it up, light it up
If I was born to be a flame, then I wanna light a bonfire
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
I'm gonna burn something down if you get in my way
This is the shout-out, this is my voice
Calling all the men, women, girls and boys
The dropouts, the losers, the hurt and the broke
Time to reclaim what the darkness has stole
Marchin' to the beat of a different drum
We live for the love without counting the cost
If you wanna be free then it's time to go
Lift up your hands so the world will know
We came to light it up
Light it up, light it up
If we were born to be a flame, then we're gonna light a bonfire
Light it up, light it up, light it up
If we were born to be a flame, then we're gonna light a bonfire
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
We're gonna burn something down if you get in our way
We are not meant to be silent
We are alive just to shine
We are not meant to be quiet
We are the light of the world
We gotta light, light, light it up, and up
"Ooh-ah"
"That kid's a flame"
Said: "Ooh-ah"
"That kid's a flame"
"He's gonna burn something down if you get in his way2
We came to light it up
Light it up, light it up
If we were born to be a flame, then we're gonna light a bonfire
Light it up, light it up, light it up
If we were born to be a flame, then we're gonna light a bonfire
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
We're gonna burn something down if you get in our way
