  • Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
    I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
    Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
    Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
    All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
    All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
    All fired up (wee live an' learn from our mistakes)
    All fired up, fired up, fired up, hey

    Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
    Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
    Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
    Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

    All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
    All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
    All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes)
    All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith)
    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith

    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith
    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith
    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith
    Now I believe

    All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
    All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
    All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes)
    All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith)
    Now I believe there comes a time
    When everything just falls in line
    We live an' learn from our mistakes
    The deepest cuts are healed by faith Writer/s: Kerryn Tolhurst, Myron Grombacher, Patricia Benatar

  • Michael from London, United KingdomFantastic song - her last major hit in the US and the UK, and a return to harder edged rock.
  • Jesus Herrera from Mexico, MexicoThis one was the opener in the Houston concert of the 2009 tour, Call Me Invincible, in which Benatar and Blondie (along with charming The Donnas) shared credits. It immediately set the place on fire!!!
