World On Fire Lyrics - Afterglow - Sarah Mclachlan

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 dive into the water 

(I try to bring my share) 

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 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 

Is closing in on us 

We part the veil on Archille's 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]
