[Verse 1]
I must believe that what's a memory now was the only way
To know that all of those you love were just stripped away
And now, if I'm the one to lead us into a brand new day
At peace I must be with the brutal truth
To truly lead the way

[Chorus]
Please God, give me the strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God, give me the strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)

[Verse 2]
And now we must wipe the tears away
Gather up our inner strength
The loss of those we can't replace will bring about their fate
And though many lifetimes it will take
To bring justice on our way
We must never falter, we must never fail
This is our charge to keep!
[Chorus]
(Please God, give me the strength to lead)
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God, give me the strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Please God, give me the strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
Please God, give me the strength to lead
(It's my charge to keep)
Make the sorrow the fuel I need
(It's my charge to keep)
