Dance Like Fire Lyrics

(1st Stanza)
It takes four men to carry a coffin
But just one to carry a cross
Takes a lifetime to find yourself
A split second to be lost

(Chorus)
If we could dance like fire
We never get burned
Never get burned
If we could dance like fire
We never get burned
Never get burned

(2nd Stanza)
The real revolutionary
He won't hide in his home
And The prophet
The real prophet
He dies poor and alone

(Chorus) 3X
If we could dance like fire
We never get burned
Never get burned
If we could dance like fire
We never get burned
Never get burned

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
