Hold On To The Fire

You look around - see your pleasant days disappearing

Feel like a paper hat in the path of a howling storm

Things can turn so cold and the wind seems to never lose its breath

Till the light inside is all that's left to keep you warm

When ya see all you've worked for blowin' away

And ya look at your accusers and have nothin' to say

Hold on to the fire - to the truth that lights your desire

Let it burn, burn, burn deep in your soul

Hold on to the fire - as the flames climb hotter and higher

Let the work that has begun be done in you

Well, you can get sidetracked tryin' to search down these little alleys

And ya usually find that there ain't much there at all

An' i know how it feels to be stuck down in the valleys

But sometimes you're held down so you won't die when you fall

Coz the light's burnin' brighter - brighter than the day

When all of the shadows are out of the way

What have you got that they can't take away?

You can choose what you'll do in the face of dismay

When ya just wanna run to your shelter and hide

And it feels like someone's fightin' a world war inside
