Can you hear it in the distance, calling out to you Can you see it in your shadow, the truth you always knew So get up and get out, they can't hold you down A fire can't be tamed, Cause you're here, time is now, all the fear and doubt Is going up in flames Tonight I'm gonna touch the sky and nothing's gonna stop me now Temperature is on the rise, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Can't touch me (ah) I'm on fire, can't slow me down We're gonna light it up tonight, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down So afraid of your reflection, you're hiding from the truth Always see imperfection staring back at you It's OK you can say what you wanna say Cause I already know 'Bout the hurt and the pain, it's about to change It's going up in smoke Tonight I'm gonna touch the sky and nothing's gonna stop me now Temperature is on the rise, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Can't touch me (ah) I'm on fire, can't slow me down We're gonna light it up tonight, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Can't touch me (ah) I'm on fire, can't slow me down We're gonna light it up tonight, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Tonight I'm gonna touch the sky and nothing's gonna stop me now Temperature is on the rise, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Can't touch me (ah) I'm on fire, can't slow me down We're gonna light it up tonight, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down Can't touch me (ah) I'm on fire, can't slow me down We're gonna light it up tonight, I'm gonna burn it down, burn it down
