lyrics

Don't fight the way they want you to
Color in the lines won't get your due
You got to go to the far out edge
Lean in to the love, lean in to the dread
They got paddy wagons at the court house
Where they are counting on you to be
So, occupy them airports, start praying
In the Wells Fargo Lobby

Jack be Nimble, Jill be quick
We'll jump over the candle stick
The flame is higher than it's ever been
If we don't give it a go, the fire might win

The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win

There's no one coming to save us, but ourselves
So, tighten up those bootstraps
Pull the history books off the shelves
We got a new play book, a new playbook
But first you got to play
Won't do no good spinning circles
To bring down a God that's got no name

So Jack be Nimble, Jill be quick
We'll jump over the candle stick
The flame is higher than it's ever been
If we don't give it a go, the fire might win

The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win

Where the wind whips and the sun is red
I've spent days just hanging my head
Want to tear down this door
Everything that ever came before
Won't do no good, fire and rain
Enlisting in the army of a hurricane
In a hurricane, in a hurricane

So Jack be Nimble, Jill be quick
We'll jump over the candle stick
The flame is higher than it's ever been
If we don't give it a go, the fire might win

The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win
The fire might win, the fire might win, the fire might win

Don't fight the way they want you to
Color in the lines won't get your due
You got to go to the far out edge
Lean in to the love, lean in to the dread
Lean in to the love, lean in to the dread, lean in to the love, lean in
Lean in to the love, lean in to the dread, lean in to the love, lean in
