You look around and see your pleasant days disappearing,
Feel like a paper hate in the path of a howling storm,
Things can turn so cold and the wind never seems to lose it's breath 'til the light inside is all that's left to keep you warm,
When you see all you've worked for blowing away and you look at you accusers and have nothing to say...

Hold on to the fire, to the truth that light's your desire,
Let it burn, burn, burn deep in your soul. (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 trying to search down these little alleys, yeah, and you usually find that there aint 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,
'Cause the light's burning brighter, brighter than the day when all of the shadows are out of the way.

Hold on to the fire, to the truth that light's your desire,
Let it burn, burn, burn deep in your soul, (deep in your soul)
Hold on to the fire as the flames climb hotter and higher, (hold on to the fire, hold on to the fire)
Let the work that has begun be done in you, yeah.

Ah,

What have you got that they can't take away'
You can choose what you'll do in the face of dismay,
When you just wanna run to your shelter and hide, and it feels like someone's fighting a world war inside...

Hold on to the fire, to the truth that light's your desire, (hold on to the fire, hold on to the fire)
Let it burn, burn, burn deep in your soul, (deep in your soul)
Hold on to the fire as the flames climb hotter and higher, (hold on to the fire, hold on to the fire)
Let the work that has begun be done in you, yeah.

Hold on to the fire,
Hold on to the fir (deep in your soul)
Hold on to the fire (deep in your soul)
Hold on to the fire (deep in your soul)

H-h,
H-h-hold on, hold on,
H-h-h-h-h-h-hold, hold, hold, hold, hold on to the fire,
Hold, hold, hold on to the fire.
