One, two, three, four
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Play the lotto you might win it
It's like twenty-five for life so you bust out of prison
Something's in the air, something's in the air
It's like that feeling when you're just about to kill it
Take your last shot you know you're gonna hit it
Somethings in the air, somethings in the air
Whoa-oh-oh

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like

Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big

It's like that feeling when you're 'bout to win the medal
And you worked so hard that you knew you wouldn't settle
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen
It's like an anthem that the whole worlds singing
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
Whoa-oh-oh

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Push and pull and then it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big

Whoa
Yeah, yeah
If we stomp our feet, the ground will shake
If we clap our hands, the walls will break
Yell so loud we forget our names
'Cause something big is happening

Take this rock and start a fire
Raise this up, we're feeling high
They can't tell us anything
'Cause something big is happening

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like

Oh whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big is happening, whoa
Oh whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh




Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening, oh

Ed Sheeran - I See Fire ( LYRICS )


Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons


If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Callin' out, Father, oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside high


And if we should die tonight, we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Callin' out, Father, oh, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside
Desolation comes upon the sky


Now, I see fire inside the mountain
I see fire burnin' the trees
And I see fire hollowin' souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

Oh, should my people fall then surely, I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls, we got too close to the flame
Callin' out, Father, oh, hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside
Desolation comes upon the sky


Now, I see fire inside the mountain
I see fire burnin' the trees
And I see fire hollowin' souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me


And if the night is burning, I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns, then my brothers will die
And as the sky's fallin' down, it crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground, I hear my people screamin' out


Now, I see fire inside the mountains
I see fire burnin' the trees
I see fire hollowin' souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
I see fire (Oh, you know I saw a city burnin' out)
And I see fire (Feel the heat upon my skin)
And I see fire
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
