Burn It Down
Burn it down
By Michelle Morris

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
