passion without structure, has a very high

You gotta do it You gotta do it - what you're talking about

I said do it - without any doubt you gotta do it - if you think it's alright

I said do it - no fuss no fight do it - and if they tell you not, still do it

you only got one shot you gotta kick butt, give all you got turn on, tune in, it's all your show

alright fight! you don't need a master plan,

just do it, baby oh yes you can do it man - hot damn!

set your love on fire and let the flames burn higher - so set fire to your heart, to your soul, to your mind

let it shine to your dream, your everything

it's your flame of fame so set your love on fire

- Bosshoss
