The flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire

Little children starving in a foreign land,
Talk about it brother
Man afraid to shake his brother's hand
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Woman in trouble callin' but nobody cares
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
People denied the rights that are truly
Theirs
(it's a shame)
*i believe i believe

I believe the flame of love is about to die
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
The flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
We're gonna fan the fire, come on along.
Violence striking down great men of peace
Poverty in the homes and crime in the streets
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Kind-hearted people turnin' to hate
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Man's about to destroy the human race
(it's a shame)
(*repeat)
(it's a shame)
(* * repeat)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
