#SaturdaySongs - Girl on Fire

I am sharing a song if it...

> Spoke to what is going on in the world today...

> Moved me (for some reason or another)...

> Is a treasure that I just want to share...

> Is just something that I like to listen to... 

NOTE: I am not receiving any compensation for spotlighting these songs. I did not write them, sing them or own them... I am just sharing with others who may love music too. 

"Girl on Fire" 

Performed by Alicia Keys

Written by Jeff Bhasker, Alicia Augello-Cook, Salaam Remi, Billy Squire, Nicki Minaj

A few years ago, I had to pick a walk up song for my "Get to Know Me Info" to teach a class at work.

I pick "Girl on Fire" mainly because I was causing the highways to be on fire at time.  I was traveling everywhere, all of the time trying to help diverse businesses, work in two different offices (in two different states) and still stay on top of my personal world.  

Until I come up with a better walk up song, I think I'll keep this one.

Lyrics:

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Oh, oh, oh,
She's just a girl, and she's on fire

Namaste.
