Fire on the arena floor, the swords are drawn, hear the lions roar,
A coliseum laughs and shouts, and screams for more,
They tried to crush this mutiny in a crimson tide of history,
But when people have seen the truth that sets them free the flame passes on,
The flame passes on and on.

From the heart of the people comes love for the people,
Love that is burning strong,
Oh, from one to another, this dream of forever...
The flame passes on.

It passes on.

Because of them we know his name, so let's lift the cross and do the same,
Unbroken line of believers building a human chain...
And the flame passes on,
And the flame passes on, and on, and on.

From the heart of the people comes love for the people,
Love that is burning strong, (burning strong)
Oh, from one to another, this dream of forever...
The flame passes on, (hanging on)
Oh, the light of the ages illumines the pages,
Words of an ancient song, (yeah, we sing the song)
Oh, faith is a fire that burns ever higher...
And the flame passes on.

Mothers to sons, fathers to daughters,
Everyone, pass it on,
Won't you pass it on'

From the heart of the people comes love for the people,
Love that is burning strong,
Oh, from one to another, this dream of forever...
The flame passes on, (flame passes on)
Oh, the light of the ages illumines the pages,
Words of an ancient song, (ancient, joyful song)
Oh, faith is a fire that burns ever higher...
And the flame passes on.

Hanging on,
Do you feel the flame in your heart'
Then pass it on.

Pass it on.
