**Ohh it's a shame

I'ts a shame it's a shame

The flame of love is about to die

Somebody fan the fire

The flame of love is about to die

Somebody fan the fire

Love is dyin' today

Somebody fan the fire

The flame of love is dyin' I say

We gonna fan the fire, come on along

Little children starving in a foreign land,

talk about it brother

Man afraid to shake his brother's hand

(fan the fire, fan the fire)

Woman in trouble callin' but nobody cares

(fan the fire, fan the fire)

People denied the rights that are truly

theirs

(It's a shame)



*I believe I believe

(I believe I believe)

I believe I believe

(I believe I believe)

I believe the flame of love is about to die

(fan the fire, fan the fire)

I believe the flame of love is about to die



The flame of love is about to die

Somebody fan the fire

Flame of love is about to die

We're gonna fan the fire, come on along.

Violence striking down great men of peace

Poverty in the homes and crime in the streets

(fan the fire, fan the fire)

Kind-hearted people turnin' to hate

(fan the fire, fan the fire)

Man's about to destroy the human race

(It's a shame)



(*Repeat)

(It's a shame)

(* * Repeat)

I believe the flame of love is about to die

(Repeat)
