City on Fire

The glow burns bright
daylight has come
but the clock ticks late
and many still walk in dreams

The flames, red, rising
the sirens off in the distance
watching from the rooftop
the city is burning

Who will save those in danger?
Who will come for their rescue?
For we sleep through the flames
unaware of the danger

Come with me
for The Adventure calls tonight
and though we walk through the flames
the people need help

A tough task to go at alone
the searing heat, the blaring noise
but come along and I think we'll see
that we are called

I can't promise comfort
the flames will burn and sear
but I'll crack a joke from time to time
in the face of the grim and the dark

No tale is too hard
for a laugh and a grin
a love and a step
and the siren is for us

So come to laugh and dance
to seek and to save
to battle the rising tide
they do not know He waits

We will show them our King
for only He can rescue
it may be that we go to our doom
but the Story is worth the chance
