Girl on Fire
Alicia Keys Lyrics

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
This girl is an unstoppable force and nothing can hold her back.

Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She is living in two worlds, one full of magical illusions, and the other one where she is filled with loneliness as if she's roadless in the middle of nowhere.

She's living in a world and it's on fire
This girl is existing within a world filled with chaos and destruction, where everything is on fire.

Filled with catastrophe but she knows she can fly away
Despite being surrounded by disasters and unfortunate events, she is aware that she can escape her situation and rise above it.

Ooh-oh, she got both feet on the ground
She is firmly grounded in reality and is aware of her surroundings.

And she's burning it down
She is destroying old notions and ideas to create something new and innovative.

Ooh-oh, she got her head in the clouds
Her mind is full of dreams and aspirations, and she is always chasing new ideas.

And she's not backing down
She is committed to her goals and won't be dissuaded by obstacles.

This girl is on fire
She is unstoppable and accomplishing great things.

Looks like a girl but she's a flame
This girl appears ordinary, but she has an unusual and incredible inner spirit.

So bright, she can burn your eyes
Her energy and presence are so intense, it's almost blinding.

Better look the other way
If you are not ready to face her power, it is best to avoid her altogether.

You can try but you'll never forget her name
She is an unforgettable presence, once you encounter her, you won't be able to forget her name or her power.

She's on top of the world
She is accomplishing great feats and on the verge of something spectacular.

Hottest of the hottest girls say
Even among the most beautiful and powerful women, she is considered the hottest and the most powerful.

Everybody stares as she goes by
Her energy and spirit are so powerful that everyone who encounters her cannot help but stare at her.

'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
The fire within her burns so brightly that anyone who sees her for the first time can feel its intensity in her eyes.

Watch her as she's lighting up the night
As she moves through the darkness, she illuminates the world around her with the light of her spirit.

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
Despite all her accomplishments, she is still a lonely girl, seeking the love and companionship of others.

And it's a lonely world
The world can be a harsh, isolating place, but she refuses to let that stop her from reaching her goals.

But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby
She is ready to blaze a new path for herself, and will let the old world burn behind her as she moves forward.
