In the dust of the morning when the shadows still remain
I can hear the heartbeat drumming like a storm beneath my veins
From the mountains to the oceans every step is carved in flame
And the fire in our stories calls us forward once again
Raise your hands to the skyline
Let the rhythm pull you higher
Hear the strings of hope behind us—
Violin and erhu fire
This is the heart the heart of the rising fire
Where every dream collides with desire
Run with the wild ones break through the wire—
Tonight we burn tonight we fly higher
Oh this is the heart the heart of the rising fire
A song of courage a drum of the choir
Stand up together the world will admire—
Tonight we burn tonight we rise higher
Every road we have taken every tear we left behind
Turns to gold beneath our footsteps as the rhythm realigns
Hear the voices of the ancients singing through the shifting wind
And the strings of distant cultures pull us where the fight begins
Raise your hands to the skyline
Let the night ignite your soul
Feel the power of the heartbeat—
Erhu cries the drums roll
This is the heart the heart of the rising fire
Where every dream collides with desire
Run with the wild ones break through the wire—
Tonight we burn tonight we fly higher
Oh this is the heart the heart of the rising fire
A song of courage a drum of the choir
Stand up together the world will admire—
Tonight we burn tonight we rise higher
Over the desert over the sea
Carry the anthem of those who believe
Under the moonlight wild and free
The world comes alive with our victory
This is the heart the heart of the rising fire
Where destiny sings in a blazing choir
Run with the wild ones break every shiver—
Tonight we roar tonight we rise higher
Oh this is the heart the heart of the rising fire—
Our voices burning our spirits brighter
Rise up together never grow tired—
Tonight we burn tonight we rise higher
