Lyrics
World On Fire - Stacy Jones - Lyrics
I dreamed of you
I dreamed who you might be
I waited for so long it was something I thought I might not ever see
And I dreamed of peace
Peace that we would pass along
That would you not know fear, and joy would be your song
Maybe you , maybe you will have the key
Maybe you will See something we could never see
I'm sorry we couldn't come together
And we leave you with this world on fire
Maybe you , you'll stand higher and put out this world on fire
I dreamed of your smile , I dreamed of your eyes
I dreamed they'd be bright and see the light and know wrong from right
I dream of your hands , the ones I would hold
I will protect you in the dark shelter you from the cold
Maybe you, maybe you will have the key
Maybe you will see something we could never see
I'm sorry we couldn't come together
And we leave you with this world on fire
Maybe you , you'll stand higher and put out this world on fire
Maybe you, maybe you will have the key
Maybe you will see something we could never see
I'm sorry we couldn't come together
And we leave you with this world on fire
Maybe you , you'll stand higher and put out this world on fire
