[Verse 1]
Some of us wanna be soldiers
Fighting for a cause in a far away land
Some of us wanna stay home
Fighting the good fight and doing the best we can

[Pre-Chorus]
What a time to be alive
These are days that could kill us all
We decide to do or die
Find a reason to save our souls

[Chorus]
What a time to be alive
It's alright in a world on fire

[Verse 2]
Some people wanna be poets
Painting pictures with words and rhymes
Some of us just don't know it
Living day to day touching the divine

[Pre-Chorus]
What a time to walk the line
These are days that could kill us all
We decide to do or die
Find a reason to save our souls
[Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
It's alright in a world on fire
It's alright in a world on fire
