World on Fire (Sarah McLachlan song)


"World on Fire" is a song by Sarah McLachlan, from her Afterglow album. It was released as the third single from the album in 2004, with a music video directed by Sophie Muller.
The video for "World on Fire" opens with the claim of having cost $150,000, despite the ensuing low-quality footage of a barefoot McLachlan in a plain room playing her guitar. The video continues to reveal it actually cost $15, then tracking how the remainder went to enriching lives all around the globe through charitable donations.
McLachlan promoted the song and its video with an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on 17 May 2006, where she performed the track live while the video played on monitors.
