Do you wanna be a poet and write?
Do you wanna be an actor, up in lights?
Do you wanna be a soldier, an' fight for love?
Do you wanna travel, the world?
Do you wanna 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 something in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
(Like a candle)
Ohh 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
(Lay down)
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
(Return)
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
(I want you to burn)
Ohh burn, burn for me burn for me, yea
(Ohh ohh ohh ohh)
I want you to burn baby, ohh ohh ohh
(Ohh ohh ohh ohh)
Laugh for me
Cry for me
Pray for me
Lie for me
Live for me
Die for me
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
(Like a candle)
Ohh burn, burn for me, burn for me, yea
Ahh yea
I want you to burn
I want you to burn for me baby
(Like a candle)
(I want you to burn)
Ohh yea, burn for me
Ohh yea, ohh yea
