I Carried The Fire

Beginning of the year

All is well! All is well!

And I carried the fire

Soon after came the storm

Not one of rain and wind

One of sorrow, one of death

I broke down, fell to my knees

Though my heart may have shaken

I carried the fire

I grew stronger, I grew wiser

And bettered myself to see the day

It took fighting and it took pain

But I carried the fire

She came to me, I saw her face

I knew this time I'd been saved

See her smiling, love her laughing

I carry the fire

It's up to you to make the choice

Will you crash? And will you burn?

Or will you rise up? Take your life back?

Will you square your shoulders

and get back in the game?

Carry the fire, my friends

If you're willing to fight for yourself

No matter what storms may hit

Carry the fire

And you can rise from the ashes!
