Burning Down

BURNING DOWN Well I'll tell you my tale and I tell no lies. I woke up one day and I opened my eyes I saw the fields and I saw the town The whole god almighty world was burning down Well I used to have money but now I'm broke And there's nothing so queer as the strangest folk I seen Women and Children and Men in chains All crying together in the burning flames But I was told about forgiveness, ONE LOVE the only truth I am here to bear witness, I surrender unto you I'm your long lost son - but I've found my way and I hope it's not too late cos I feel the fiery flames I'm burning down, burning down I see no water but I fear I'll drown I see no fire but I'm burning down It's a trick of the light, messin' with mind Then I done woke up and I opened my eyes It was just a devil in a cheap disguise But I was told about forgiveness, ONE LOVE the only truth I am here to bear witness, I surrender unto you I'm burning down Burning down but there ain't no fire Burning down but there ain't no heat Build me a boat and a body of water Bring his blood and the bread to eat
