The Fire
John Legend The Roots Lyrics

Oh, the fire, the fire
The energy and passion that drives us to succeed and persevere.

There's something in your heart And it's in your eyes It's the fire Inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say don't give up
There's a drive and determination within us that can be seen in our eyes. Don't rely on luck, but let that passion inside you burn and fuel your efforts to persevere.

Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code My soul starts to grow colder than the North Pole I try to focus on the whole of where the torch goes
When faced with tough decisions that leave me feeling lost, I try to refocus on the bigger picture and where my journey is leading.

In the tradition of these legendary sports pros As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold Lord knows I've waited for this a life time And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
Modeled after great athletes, I've come so far and am on the brink of success. I've worked hard and patiently for this moment, and I feel like a shining example of what dedication can achieve.

Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it Maverick, always above and beyond average Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with Something in my eyes says I'm so close to having the prize
I strive to be a powerful force, capable of carrying the weight of success. I have a unique approach and am always pushing beyond what's expected. There's a fire within me that will make me a champion.

Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise One love, one game, one desire One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
Don't let anyone convince you that you can't achieve what you're striving for. We all share a common passion and goal, so let that energy and passion grow stronger. I refuse to show fatigue or weakness- I am in control of my own path.

It's David and Goliath; I made it to the eye of the storm Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions Before my time starts to wind down like the Mayans I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science
I'm in the midst of a great battle, facing unbelievable odds. I'm put through great trial and feel as though I'm facing danger at every turn. I must act fast, before it's too late, and show them that I'm up-to-date with the latest techniques to take control.

It sounds like a riot on hush; it's so quiet The only thing I hear is my heart--I'm inspired By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with Then move like a wise warrior and not be a coward
Although it all seems calm, my heart pounds with inspiration as I face this challenge head-on. I must act with wisdom and bravery, facing this difficulty with all that I have within me.

You can't escape the history that you was meant to make That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate I hate losing; I refuse to make the same mistake
Our paths are destined and we must create a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations. Victory is inevitable, and it is my goal to achieve the highest level of success. This is a time to commemorate our hard work and dedication, as well as refuse to make the same mistakes of the past.

Oh, the fire Inside you The fire Inside you The fire Inside you
The fire within us is a powerful, constant force that drives us to succeed and never give up. It's always within, waiting to be unleashed and utilized to our full potential.
