World on Fire lyrics
Sarah McLachlan See albums and popular songs
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
[Chorus]
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some
[Chorus X2]

Video
World On Fire: $5,000 could cover the cost of hair and make-up for one day on set in LA or pay for one year's schooling for 145 girls in Afghanistan. Sarah McLachlan does the math and encourages you to join her. For more information about the film and to take action vi (video from YouTube)

i think this is a really good video with a powerful message that i think everyone should watch!
Can't believe this hasn't gotten allot more air time its a fantastic song I only heard it for the first time a week ago and can't get it out of my head and the video is really excellent, hair raising stuff it really hits home without being condescending.. Love it.
I love the melody, and the lyrics always seem to...mold...to fit whatever I am thinking when I listen.
