There Is A Fire

I’m burnin’ up
With sheer frustration
So much to do
To wake up this nation---

We’re fallin’ apart
Is nobody caring
No time to lose
We gotta start sharing---

Chorus
There is fire in our heart
A deep desire now to start
Sisters and brothers (“are you with us?)
Fathers and mothers (“C’mon now!)

Bridge
There is a fire ---- a burnin’ desire
To make this nation ---- a livin’ sensation

2nd verse rpt.
We’re fallin’ apart
Is nobody caring
No time to lose
We gotta start sharing---

Bridge
There is a fire ---- a burnin’ desire
To make this nation ---- a livin’ sensation

Yes! There is a fire ------- in my heart



Suggestions: Beat, rhythm, style ‘similar’ to “Billie Jean”/Jackson
Short, punchy lead into Chorus from 2nd verse.
Distinctive beat/trumpet, as used between verse/chorus in ‘YMCA’, leading up to 1st bridge.
Beat & clap to 2nd bridge. Other possibilities of course, including the idea of going straight into
the Chorus again after the 2nd bridge, allowing more audience participation.
