Do you want to be a poet and write?
Do you want to be an actor up in lights?
Do you want to be a soldier and fight for love?
Do you want to travel the world?
Do you want to be a diver for pearls?
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above?
Be anyone you want to be,
Bring to life your fantasies,
But I want somethin' in return
Chorus:
I want you to burn
Burn for me, baby, like a candle in my night
Oh, burn
Burn for me, burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal?
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal?
Or go to heaven and touch God's face?
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps?
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps?
Or an angel under grace?
I'll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
Chorus
Laugh for me
Cry for me
Pray for me
Fly for me
Live for me
Die for us
Chorus
I want you to burn
I want you to burn for me baby
Burn for me
I want you to burn
