The whole world around me is burning
And our tears have reached the sky
Wild pirates rule the ocean
But your music keeps me right

The whole world around me is crumbling
Every river has run dry
Black eyed darkness tries to haunt me
But your rhythm keeps me right

So please play your music, play it nice and strong
Please play your music, the world has waited way too long
Please play your music, play it night and day
Please play your music play it right away

The whole world is no longer burning
Sweet children's voices slow the flames
They're the future and they are shaking
To your rhythms refrain

Please play your music that you promised me
Please play your music of our destiny
Please play your music set your people free
Please play your music play it finally
