We are slaves to these age-old afflictions Fighting for control 'till we fell too far Pursue desire, ignore our convictions Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars We are calling out in the thick of the war I am standing down to fight for something more Would we cease these battles, let this love resound Still too hard to find our common ground There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way And we try so hard to heal our diseases We break to pieces when our hope has failed Some will live or die without a reason Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails We are lost and found and beg to be restored We keep falling down, harder than before But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on Sorrow for now, but someday soon will be gone There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way So we come and go, it's still a mystery And we'll be history long before we find All the secrets since now and forever We hope for better on the other side God, hear the cries of Your people! There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way
