World On Fire

Sarah McLachlan · Closer The Best Of Sarah McLachlan [2008]

Hearts are worn in these dark ages

You're not alone in this story's pages

The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying

And I'll try to hold it in

Yeah I'll try to hold it in



The world's on fire it's more than I can handle

I tap into the water and try to bring my share

I try to bring more, more than I can handle

I'll bring it to the table

I'll bring what I am able



I watch the heavens but I find no calling

Something I can do to change whats coming

Stay close to me while the sky's falling

I don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone



The world's on fire it's more than I can handle

I tap into the water and try to bring my share

I try to bring more, more than I can handle

I'll bring it to the table

I'll bring what I am able



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 killer sun

Stray from the straight line on this short run

The more we take, the less we become

A fortune of one man means less for some



The world's on fire it's more than I can handle

I tap into the water and try to bring my share

I try to bring more, more than I can handle

I'll bring it to the table

I'll bring what I am able

The world's on fire it's more than I can handle

I tap into the water and try to bring my share

I try to bring more, more than I can handle

I'll bring it to the table

I'll bring what I am able
