Hearts afire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts afire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne

We come together on this special day
Sing our message loud and clear
Looking back, we've touched on sorrowful days (well)
Future, past, they disappear

You will find (you fill find) peace of mind (yeah)
If you look way down in your heart and soul
Don't hesitate 'cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart
Ah, 'cause you're never, never old at heart

That's the way (that's the way)
Of the world (of the world)
Plant your flower (gonna plant your flower)
And you grow a pearl
Child is born with a heart of gold
Way of the world (gonna plant your flower)
Makes his heart so cold

Hearts afire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts afire, love desire
High and higher
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hearts afire, love desire
Ah, higher

We've come together on this special day
Sung our message loud and clear
Looking back, we've touched on sorrowful days
While future disappear

You will find (you fill find) peace of mind (eh, eh)
If you look way down in your heart and soul
Ah, don't hesitate
'Cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart
'Cause ('cause you're never, never, never)
You're never, never, never

That's the way of the world
Plant your flowers and you'll grow a pearl
Child is born (child is born)
With a heart of gold (listen now, with a heart of gold)
Way of the world (way of the world)
Makes his heart so cold (makes his heart so cold)

That love, that love
That love, that love
That love, that love (ooh, yeah)

Never, ah
Well

Ooh, that love, that love, that love, that love
Don't you hear me, now?
Don't you hear me, now?
Lordy, won't you hear me now?
Lordy, won't you hear me now?

Hearts afire (hearts afire)
Love desire (love desire)
High and higher
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hearts afire
