Lyrics
0:01Ohh the fire the fire
0:11Ohh the fire the fire
0:22There's something in your heart
0:25And it's in your eyes
0:27It's the fire inside you
0:32Let it burn
0:34You don't say good luck
0:36You say "Don't give up"
0:37It's the fire inside you
0:41Let it burn
0:45Yeah and if I'm ever at the crossroads
0:47And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
0:50My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole
0:52I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes
0:55In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
0:58As far as I can see I've made it to the threshold
1:01Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime
1:03And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
1:06Shine bright as an example of a champion
1:09Taking the advantage never copping out or cancelling
1:11Burn like a chariot learn how to carry it
1:14Maverick always above and beyond average
1:17Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
1:20Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize
1:23I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies
1:26Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise
1:28There's something in your heart
1:31And it's in your eyes
1:33It's the fire inside you
1:38Let it burn
1:40You don't say good luck
1:41You say "Don't give up"
1:44It's the fire inside you
1:49Let it burn
1:51One love one game one desire
1:52One flame one bonfire let it burn higher
1:55I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
1:58'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph
2:01It's David and Goliath I made it to the eye of the storm
2:04Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
2:06Before my time start to wind down like the Mayans
2:09I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science
2:12It sounds like a riot on hush it's so quiet
2:15The only thing I hear is my heart I'm inspired
2:18By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with
2:20Then move like a wise warrior and not a coward
2:23You can't escape the history that you was meant to make
2:26That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take
2:29You came to celebrate I came to sever great
2:32I hate losing I refuse to make the same mistake
2:34Ohh the fire the fire
2:46Ohh
2:53There's something in your heart
2:54(The fire)
2:54There's something in your heart
2:56(The fire)
2:57There's something in your heart
2:59And it's in your eyes
3:01It's the fire inside you
3:07Let it burn
3:08You don't say good luck
3:10You say "Don't give up"
3:12It's the fire inside you
3:18Let it burn
3:21Ohh the fire inside you
3:29The fire inside you
3:34The fire inside you
Ohh the fire the fire Ohh the fire the fire There's something in your heart And it's in your eyes It's the fire inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say "Don't give up" It's the fire inside you Let it burn Yeah and if I'm ever at the crossroads And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes In the tradition of these legendary sports pros As far as I can see I've made it to the threshold Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime And I'm an icon when I let my light shine Shine bright as an example of a champion Taking the advantage never copping out or cancelling Burn like a chariot learn how to carry it Maverick always above and beyond average Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise There's something in your heart And it's in your eyes It's the fire inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say "Don't give up" It's the fire inside you Let it burn One love one game one desire One flame one bonfire let it burn higher I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired 'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph It's David and Goliath I made it to the eye of the storm Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions Before my time start to wind down like the Mayans I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science It sounds like a riot on hush it's so quiet The only thing I hear is my heart I'm inspired By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with Then move like a wise warrior and not a coward You can't escape the history that you was meant to make That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take You came to celebrate I came to sever great I hate losing I refuse to make the same mistake Ohh the fire the fire Ohh There's something in your heart (The fire) There's something in your heart (The fire) There's something in your heart And it's in your eyes It's the fire inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say "Don't give up" It's the fire inside you Let it burn Ohh the fire inside you The fire inside you The fire inside you
