When I was younger, I had a dragon
We would fly away to places you can't imagine
This is a story on a lonely island
With a boy who'd found a way to become a lion

On our way to London, up on the tower
We would spend our nights and days, burning the hours
Oh, I remember as I looked in the mirror
Saw I was brave enough this time, as I came nearer

Sometimes you gotta stand for something
Sometimes you gotta stand your ground
So I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up

I got the fire, I got the fire, I got the fire
I got the fire this time
I'll take it higher, I'll take it higher
Cause I got the fire

Under the ocean, I found a treasure
It was my heart not gold or silver that you could measure
Just a king of my castle, going to battle
Ain't no giant here too tall I couldn't handle

Sometimes you gotta stand for something
Sometimes you gotta stand your ground
So I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up

I got the fire, I got the fire, I got the fire, I got the fire this time
I'll take it higher, I'll take it higher
Cause I got the fire

See the stars that align at night
Like the distance between your eyes
It's the lightning I feel inside
Tell me that ain't magic

Hear the horses running wild
To the first steps of a child
Feel the thunder with all her might
Tell me that ain't magic

Don't tell me it ain't real
So tell me it ain't true
'Cause I see the fire
The fire in you

Don't tell me it ain't real
So tell me it ain't true
'Cause I see the fire
The fire in you

Fire, I got the fire, I got the fire, I got the fire this time
I'll take it higher, I'll take it higher
Cause I got the fire
