You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, hey
Folks, the stakes couldn’t be higher
Come on, people, keep the fire
Come on, people, keep the fire
Our plight couldn’t be more dire
Mm, the time for hesitation’s through
There’s no time to wallow in the mire
Dear friends, we could only lose
And our rights become a funeral pyre
Come on, people, keep the fire
Come on, people, keep the fire
Our plight couldn’t be more dire
Well, you know that it would be untrue
And you know that I would be a liar
If I was to go and tell you
People, the risk couldn’t be higher
Come on, people, bring your fire
Come on, people, bring your fire
The danger couldn’t be more dire!
