The Fire
Cris Cab Lyrics

Just take a second let your problems go
Take a moment to clear your mind and let go of your worries

Wipe the sweat up off your back, let’s take it slow
Stop rushing and take a slower, more deliberate pace

Everyday you wearing out your soul
The everyday grind is exhausting and taking a toll on your well-being

Raise it higher, higher
Elevate your perspective and aim for greater heights

And you can start taking control
You have the power to take control of your life and make positive changes

When Monday comes it’s always 9 to 5
The monotony of the work week sets in

You got the man up in your face
Your boss or authority figure is pressuring you

And trouble on your mind
You have worries and problems that are weighing you down

Well if you’re working just to live
If your livelihood is your only focus in life

Then you’re not alive
You're merely existing and not truly living

You need to make a little time to feel it
Take time for yourself to enjoy life and feel happy

Oh you’re not satisfied with the small things
You crave something more fulfilling than the everyday routine

So open up your eyes, you’ve got to start right now
Wake up and take action towards making your life better today

[Chorus]
Refrain/chorus

Just put the fire in the air and take the weight up off your shoulders
Express yourself and let go of your burdens

They got you working all the time, work, working all the time, time
You feel overworked and trapped in a cycle of labor

Just hold the air when it gets a little colder
Find strength and comfort within yourself when times get tough

Now that it’s easy, you can understand
Once you simplify your life and priorities, it becomes clearer

It’s not the money in the pocket that defines the man
Your worth and character are not defined by material wealth

To see you clearly is the righteous plan
To gain clarity on yourself and your path is necessary for righteousness

You got that feeling deep within your bones
You feel a strong, intuitive sense of purpose

The good vibration resonating with your girl at home
The positivity you emanate is felt by your loved ones

She says she loves it, every time you make her scream and moan
Your intimate connection with your partner brings joy and satisfaction

You got to take it up to the ceiling
Push yourself to reach greater heights and fulfill your potential

Don’t be occupied with the wrong things
Don't waste time and energy on unimportant matters

I’ll help you realize, you’ve got to start, right now
The artist encourages taking action towards your goals immediately

[Chorus]
Refrain/chorus

Hey mister officer, tell me where you’re coming from
Addressing authority and questioning their intentions

Is it illegal to be this hot under the sun
Inquiring if it's wrong to be passionate and driven

Cause we’ve been working overtime with no pay
Indicating unfair labor practices and lack of compensation

And it’s 9060 degrees in the shade
An exaggeration to highlight the overwhelming conditions

You need to take it all before it goes away
Seizing opportunities before they pass by

So god can guarantee us all another day
A recognition of life's fragility and a call to appreciate every day

So give thanks for life every day and every night cause
Expressing gratitude for the gift of life

Everything is gonna be alright
Optimistic assurance that things will be fine

[Chorus]
Refrain/chorus

Yeah, hey, working all the time
Reiteration of the recurring theme of overworking and striving for balance
