WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THIS WORLD'S ON FIRE?

Cho.
What you gonna do, what you gonna do,
What you gonna do, when this world's on fire?
What you gonna do, (3 times) when Jesus come?

Bow right here, bow right here,
(I'm gonna) bow right here, when this world's on fire.
Bow right here, (3 times) till Jesus come.
Cho.
Goin' to stand right her, stand right here,
(I'm gonna) stand right here, when this world's on fire.
Stand right here, (3 times) till Jesus come.
Cho.
Goin' to groan right here, groan right here,
(I'm gonna) groan right her, till Jesus come.
Groan right here (3 times) till Jesus come.
