Getting down, there's a party in motion
Everybody's on the scene
And I can hear the sound, like the roar of the ocean
As it rushes to the stream

Live it up, don't ya hear people screaming
Gotta do it all their way
Until they burn it up and the lights nowhere gleaming
What a price you have to pay

Why do we feel whe have to feed the fire
We're only caught up in our desire, ooh

I've had enough, it's just too tough
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
To lift us up, the world is rough
I am so tired and I've had enough

Spinning' round in perpetual motion
Like a crystal ball of dreams
And moving in the crowd, there's a hint of a notion
That you never will be seen

Slow it down, feel some emotion
'Cause there's nothing in between
Reaching that higher ground, but your faith and devotion
To be on the winning team

Why do we feel we have to feed the fire
We're only caught up in our own desire, ooh

I've had enough, it's just too tough
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
To lift us up, the world is rough
I am so tired and I've had enough
