I think it's a cold, cold world and I think we need to heat it
light it up like gasoline when a match's thrown down in it
so go ahead and light a match, a passionate heart is needed
so throw a torch up in the sky, 'cause we need someone to lead it

it only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
I know the fire's in your heart, so go ahead and show it

(chorus)
go - light it up - start a fire
burn - let it burn - even higher

like a city on a hill, we can light up the horizon
for miles and miles and miles - you can see the smoke is risin'
so go ahead and light the sky like a bonfire in the night
let the fire keep burnin' hard - it can never be too bright

it only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
I know the fire is in your heart, so go ahead and show it

(chorus x2)
