"Fire Me Up"
Lyrics and Music by Kenneth Johnson
Oh a-wake up, a-wake up, ah--
When I get up in the morning
To greet a new day a dawning
I joyfully open the doors
To my life and I pray
To fire me up
With the light of compassion
Fire me up with courageous action
Fire me up with wisdom's vision
So I may bring joy
to everyone
When I get home in the evening
To reflect on today's meaning
I joyfully open the doors
To my life and I chant
To fire me up
With the light of compassion
Fire me up with courageous action
Fire me up with the vision of wisdom
So I may tap the power within
for everyone
I know you say
Look at this world we're in
All the sorrow and pain
today
How can we be smilin'
We can get on a ship
To take us across a sea of trouble
This is how we'll go
On nam myo ho renge kyo
(Refrain:)
Oh ,oh, oh, oh
Fire me up (solo)
With the light of compassion (chorus)
Fire me up (solo)
With courageous action (solo)
Fire me up (chorus)
With wisdom's vision (solo)
Fire me up, fire me up
Fire me up (chorus)
To strengthen my faith (solo)
Fire me up (chorus)
To achieve all my hopes and dreams (solo)
Fire me up (chorus)
To bring this joy to everyone
Fire me up, fire me up
To fire me up (chorus)
With the light of compassion (solo)
Fire me up (chorus)
with courageous action (solo)
Fire me up (chorus)
With wisdom's vision (solo)
Fire me up, fire me up (chorus)
