letra de would i burn - teresa storch

Loading...

[verse 1]
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?

[chorus]
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?

[verse 2]
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 thеir prison i am released?

[chorus]
what would i burn for?
would i diе for my beliefs?
could i be a burning light to point us towards our own release?
[post-chorus]
would i give my life
just to do what’s right?
would i give my life?
would i burn?

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
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
now i stand up for our rights
here i am, i demand we stop this spread of fear and lies

[chorus]
that’s what i burn for
and i’ll stand for my beliefs
there are things we all can do to make a world of peace
that’s what i burn for
now i’m asking for the proof
we have to have a world today that is based upon the truth

[post-chorus]
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?
[outro]
would i burn?
would i burn like joan of arc
believe my words
no spark or fear of fire could make me denounce them?
