You Are a Tourist Lyrics

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless fury in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed

This fire grows higher

When there's a doubt in your mind
'Cause you think it all the time
Framin' rights into wrongs
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Oh, there's nothing to fear
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

And if you feel just like a tourist
In the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
With so many different places to call home
'Cause when you find yourself a villain
In the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions
Are in need of redemption
Would you agree?
If so, please show me

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
When there's a burning in your heart
(This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
(This fire grows higher, this fire grows higher)
When there's a burning in your heart (this fire grows higher)
(This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
