Keep the Fire Burning

The fire keeps burning
No water to quench
Look at the sky
The air is so dry
No moist clouds
To bring the rains around
Many trees have vanished
The earth looks parched
Before we are left dead
Let us keep the fire burning
Give back to the earth
Restore the trees anon
Bring back the rain
To wash away all the pains
The droplets of water
Keep the air fresh and cool
Let the sun hide behind the clouds
Rainbow adorn the big blue sky
Dances like a peacock
Let Romance fill the air
Make your sweetheart feel shy
