When faith alone is not enough,
To keep our heads barely above,
We look for reason and come up empty-handed.
And when our children fight our wars,
While we sit back just keeping score,
We´re teaching murder not understanding now.

We´re setting the fires to light the way,
We´re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change

The lives our buried sons have laid,
Won´t cancel debts we´ve yet to pay,
In death, we justify anything now,
As long as we blindly obey and do exactly what they say,
We´ll have no one to blame, but ourselves now.

We´re setting the fires to light the way,
We´re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change.

We run on the fumes of injustice,
We´ll never die with the fuel that you give us,
Keep it coming ´cause I´m prepared to burn,
Keep running from me at every turn.

Your life around,
(into something true, into something true)
So turn your life around,
(into something true, something true)

We´re setting the fires to light the way,
We´re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change.
