"World On Fire" lyrics - SARAH MCLACHLAN

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in
Yeah I'll try to hold it in

[Chorus:]
The world's on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
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's
Closing in on us

We part the veil on our killing sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some

[Chorus 2x]
