Be The Fire

Be the Fire

When it’s time to shine, shine the brightest

When it’s time to fly, fly the highest

When it’s time to work, work the hardest

When it’s time to stand up, stand up tallest

When it’s time to love, love the strongest

The kind of strength that comes from being honest

[Chorus]

Life is short; life is long

We get it right; we get it wrong

We let go when we hold on…and sometimes it’s to nothing

When you find you’ve lost your way

Down to your last drop of faith

Your back’s against the wall….just be a fighter

When the darkness come to take you….be the fire

When it’s time to speak, speak with kindness

When it’s time to laugh, laugh the wildest

When it’s time to cry, cry to heal it

When you make a promise, be the one to keep it

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]

The only thing that holds you back

Is the mirror that you’re looking at

[Repeat chorus]

When it’s time to shine, shine the brightest…..
