Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to the world, give it all
Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the floor

Yeah yeah hey hey hey!
Alright

We've come together on this special day
To sing our message loud and clear
Looking back we've touched on sorrowful days
Future pass, they disappear
You will find peace of mind
Would you look way down in your heart and soul
Don't hesitate 'cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart
'Cause you're never, never old, yeah (never, never, never never)
'Cause you're never
Everybody sing, c'mon

That's the way (that's the way)
Of the world (of the world)
Plant your flower (oh bless your flower)
And you grow a pearl (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

A child is born (child is born)
With a heart of gold (heart of gold)
The way of the world (oh plant your flower)
Makes his heart so old (ooh yeah, alright)

Yeah yeah yeah
Keep it grooving

Hearts of fire, love desire
High and higher, you, you

Alright then

Give your love to Johnny Gill y'all!

Hearts of fire (Hearts of fire!)
Love desire (Love desire!)
High and higher (high and higher!)
Oh yeah

Say that's the way of the world
Plant your flowers, grow a pearl
Child is born his heart is gold
The way of the world makes his heart grow cold

Say that's the way of the world
Plant your flowers, grow a pearl
Child is born his heart is gold
The way of the world makes his heart grow cold
