There's a fire in the sky

and its blistering bright

Shining on the land

And array in all its colors

Bringing us closer in

the cycle of life

You can't look it in

the eye and although

you can find it everywhere

Because it burns so bright

over the land

There's a fire in the sky

and its blistering bright

Shining on the land

And array in all its colors

Bringing us closer in

the cycle of life

Showing men color

isn't life and how we

should live but a uniqueness

a distinction never to be

use to criticized and dismay

There's a fire in the sky

and its blistering bright

Shining on the land

And array in all its colors

Bringing us closer in

the cycle of life

And we can all share this

wonderful land and our

infinite lives with the legacy

of loving it so dearly

by setting aside all ills

There's a fire in the sky, it lights for me and you

and its blistering bright, everyday to see us through

Shining on the land, constantly awakening

And array in all its colors, no one color is greater

Bringing us closer in, we have to work together

the cycle of life
