Keep on Burnin’

[introduction] [percussion break] [Verse 1] In the dead of the night There’s a ripple in the silence A shout heard all around Vibrates the ground [Pre-Chorus] Ooh when the going gets tough And on-edge turns to fright [fright] When the silhouettes of shadows Draw nearer in the night [Chorus] Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right] Don’t put out the light, That sweet illumination Piercing through the black of night, When the darkness gathers ‘round us And you’re ready to go to flight, Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight! [Tag] Gotta keep on burnin’ Gotta keep on shining your light Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight [introduction] [percussion break] [Verse 1] In the dead of the night There’s a ripple in the silence A shout heard all around Vibrates the ground [Pre-Chorus] Ooh when the going gets tough And on-edge turns to fright [fright] When the silhouettes of shadows Draw nearer in the night [Chorus] Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right] Don’t put out the light, That sweet illumination Piercing through the black of night, When the darkness gathers ‘round us And you’re ready to go to flight, Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight! [Tag] Gotta keep on burnin’ Gotta keep on shining your light Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight [Verse 2] In the beat of your heart There’s a noble defiance Your shout heard all around It shakes the ground [Pre-Chorus] Ooh when the fire’s cooling down And on-edge turns to fright (fright) When the prying eyes and footsteps Draw nearer in the night [Chorus] Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ (that’s right) Don’t put out the light, That sweet illumination Piercing through the black of night, When the darkness gathers ‘round us And you’re ready to go to flight, Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight! [Tag] Gotta keep on burnin’ Gotta keep on shining your light Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t give up the fight [synth solo] [Bridge] We gotta hold our ground, Not gonna fade away, Oh, no, fear won’t stop us, We’ll take our stand Until the break of day! (break of day) [Chorus] Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right] Don’t put out the light, That sweet illumination Piercing through the black of night, When the darkness gathers ‘round us And you’re ready to go to flight, Gotta keep on burnin’ Don’t you dare give up the fight!
