| I will hold your hand, love
|
| As long as I can, love
|
| Though the powers rise against us
|
| Though your fears assail you
|
| And your body may fail you
|
| There’s a fire that burns within us
|
| And we dream in the night
|
| Of a city descending
|
| With the sun in the center
|
| And a peace unending
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I’ll carry the fire for you
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I’ll carry the fire for you
|
| And we kneel in the water
|
| The sons and the daughters
|
| And we hold our hearts before us
|
| And we look to the distance
|
| And raise our resistance
|
| In the face of the forces
|
| Gathered against us
|
| And we dream in the night
|
| Of a king and a kingdom
|
| Where joy writes the songs
|
| And the innocent sing them
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I’ll carry the fire for you
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on (light up the darkness)
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on
|
| When your hope is gone, sing on
|
| And we dream in the night
|
| Of a feast and a wedding
|
| And the groom in his glory
|
| When the bride is made ready
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I’ll carry the fire for you
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I will, I will carry the fire
|
| I’ll carry the fire for you
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on (light up the darkness)
|
| Oh, sing on, sing on
|
| When your hope is gone, sing on
|
| Sing, on and on and on
|
| On and on and on |
