Carry The Fire Lyrics by Andrew Peterson

Light for the Lost Boy

2012

[Verse 1]
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
[Per-Chorus 1]
And we dream in the night
Of a city descending
With the sun in the center
And a peace unending
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we dream in the night
Of a king and a kingdom
Where joy writes the songs
And the innocent sing them
[Chorus 2]
I will, I will carry the fire
I will, I will carry the fire
I'll carry the fire for you
[Bridge]
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
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And we dream in the night
Of a feast and a wedding
And the groom in his glory
When the bride is made ready
[Chorus 1]
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
[Outro]
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
