Burn It Down

Burn it down
By Michelle Morris
15/07/2022

You light a match
And burn it down
You burn your life
Right to the ground

And you wonder
What you've done
Should you seek
Professional help

But your path
It's true and clear
You know what works
What you fear

Desire for
Freedom now
No longer follow
All the crowds

Chorus
Burn it down
Burn it down
See the flames 
Go higher and higher

Burn it down
Burn it down
See the flames
Set the world on fire
(End Chorus)

As you watch 
Those flames burn bright
You see the embers
They take flight

And they leap 
And they soar
They burn down
Everything for sure

For you have set
A new course
Inspired others
With your choices

And one by one
They come to know
That their freedom
Is theirs to own

Chorus

Burn it down
Burn it now
See the world
It's all on fire

Burn it high
Burn it low
Burn it softly
Burn it slow

Burn it down
One by one
See you freeing
Everyone

Burn it high
Burn it low
It's time for everyone
To know 

Chorus x2

You light a match
And burn it down
You burn your life
Right to the ground

Burn it down
Burn it now
See the world
It's all on fire

Yes, the world 
Is all on fire
Embrace the fire 
Of desire 

Yes, the world
Is all on fire
Embrace the fire
Of desire
