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, yeah
And ya usually find
That there ain't much there at all
And I know how it feels
To be stuck down in the valleys, yeah
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

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, yeah!

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

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
Hold on to the fire
Hold on to the fire
Deep in your soul
Hold on to the fire
Deep in your soul
Hold on to the fire
Deep in your soul...
