Fire It Up

She's sitting staring out a window, trying to figure out just what to do. The last time that she gave her heart away it came back broken in two. Like an old abandoned car she parked it down on a lonely avenue, she forgot about it till the day she laid her eyes on you... And her heart said fire it up, and her soul said fire it up and her mind said fire it up, let love live again He's sitting at a subway station watching as the trains go flying by He used to hate the black man till the black man reached out and saved his life He was pulled out of the darkness, rescued and blinded by the light Ain't it crazy how one simple act of kindness can open up our eyes, open up your eyes And let your heart say fire it up, and let your soul say fire it up, and let your mind say fire it up, let love live again Here we are again, you and me still trying to figure out the world Searching for a reason to believe what makes this big ball turn? If we hold on to each other, give love, show love for all love's worth Yeah they might call us crazy but tell me who's it gonna hurt, who's it gonna hurt to let our hearts say fire it up, to let our soul say fire it up, to let our mind say fire it up, let love live again And let your heart say fire it up, and let your soul say fire it up, and let your mind say fire it up, and let love live again Let love live again
