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 towns The whole God Almighty world was burning down Burning down Well, I used to have job, 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 Burning flames But I was told about forgiveness, one love the only truth I'm 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, 'cause I feel the fiery flames? I'm burning down, burning down Burning down, burning down, yeah Here we go I see no water, but I fear I'll drown I see no fire, but I'm burning down It's just 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'm here to bear witness, I surrender unto you I'm burning down, burning down Burning down, burning down, oh-yeah (Burning down) burning down but there ain't no fire (Burning down) burning down but there ain't no heat (Burning down) build me a boat and a body of water (Burning down) bring His blood and the bread to eat
