  • There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive
    There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes
    There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive
    But the world took a spark like a match in the dark and the fire brought me to life
    So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we can stay alive

    'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
    And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die
    And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
    And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

    And you'll find, there'll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold
    But you'll fight with a passion and you'll never stop 'cause you know
    Yeah you know it gets better and your story is yet to be told
    Every push, every shove, every war, every love
    Yeah the coals are beginning to glow
    So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we can stay alive

    'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
    And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die
    And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
    And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

    Don't let the fire die
    It gets better
    Just don't let the fire die, no

    'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
    And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die
    And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
    And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

    And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die
    Don't let the fire die Writer/s: ADAM R. YOUNG, EMILY MEREDITH WRIGHT, NATE CAMPANY
