My mama always said I was born for this And some people wouldn’t like that I was different It never really mattered how hard it would be Cause she filled me with love and the strength to lead.
She said, Oooohaa That kid’s a flame Said Ooooha That kid’s a flame He’s gonna burn something down if you get in his way
I came to, light it up Light it up, light it up If I was born to be a flame Then I wanna light a bonfire Light it up, light it up, light it up If I was born to be a flame Then I wanna light a bonfire Let it burn, let it burn Let it burn, let it burn I’m gonna burn something down if you get in my way
This is the shout out, this is my voice Calling all the men, women, girls and boys The dropouts, the losers, the hurt and the broke Time to reclaim what the darkness has stole
Marching to the beat of a different drum We live for the love without counting the cost If you wanna be free then it’s time to go Lift up your hands so the world will know
We came to light it up Light it up, light it up If we were born to be a flame Then we’re gonna light a bonfire Light it up, light it up, light it up If we were born to be a flame Then we’re gonna light a bonfire Let it burn, let it burn Let it burn, let it burn We’re gonna burn something down if you get in our way
We are not meant to be silent We are alive just to shine We are not meant to be quiet We are the light of the world We gotta light, light, light it up
Oooohaa That kid’s a flame Said Ooooha That kid’s a flame He’s gonna burn something down if you get in his way
We came to light it up Light it up, light it up If we were born to be a flame Then we’re gonna light a bonfire Light it up, light it up, light it up If we were born to be a flame Then we’re gonna light a bonfire Let it burn, let it burn Let it burn, let it burn We’re gonna burn something down if you get in our way
