lyrics

Would I burn like Joan of Arc
Believe my words, no spark or fear of fire could make me denounce them?
Could I stand like Dr. King
Believe the vision of my dream, no burning cross or threat of death could take it from me?

What would I burn for? Could I draw the racist wrath?
Could I stand for anything where I’d feel bullets whizzing past?
Would I burn?
Could I sit at Gandhi’s feet,
Sit while surrounded by police, be the change I want to see, simply emanating peace?
Could I have Mandela’s heart, forgive my captors for their part, call them my equals while from their prison I am released?
What would I burn for? Would I die for my beliefs?
Could I be a burning light to point us towards our own release?
Would I give my life, just to do what’s right?
Would I give my life?
Would I burn?
I was born with wealth and skin that absolves me of my sins
gives me freedom to go where others aren’t allowed in
I never had the need to fight or to stand up for my rights
Yet here I am, I demand we stop this spread of fear and lies
That’s what I burn for, I stand for my belief
there are things we all can do to make a world of peace
That’s what I burn for, I’m asking for the proof
we have to have a world today that is based upon the truth
I will give my life, just to do what’s right
I will give my life, oh I will give my life
Would I burn?
Would I burn like Joan of Arc
Believe my words, no spark or fear of fire could make me denounce them?
